This is a myth and has been debunked many times. Women APPEAR to be paid less than men because they're in different types of jobs to men (e.g. childcare or retail versus mining and engineering) that often don't require the same set of skills, don't require as much experience, need less sophisticated skillsets, or less time commitments. Oh, and the jobs they do are much safer ones too. Most workplace accident deaths and injuries ? Men.

If you want equal pay, join the public sector or a unionised job on an award agreement, where everyone gets the same wage at the same classification level.
