"Ladies, take control of your own destiny, or be a victim of your own making."
One of the more ignorant things I've read here ever. You clearly don't understand the sociology of the issue at hand here. Do you think that women just wake up and go "Woe is me, I'm going to lay down today and take whatever I get"?
There's a difference between saying "I don't want to ask for more", and simply not even thinking to do it or being raised in a society where it doesn't even occur to her that she might be able to do so.
That's kinda the important theme behind socially trained behaviors like this.
This is precisely the problem for a lot of people. I know plenty of guys who don't think to do this, and I used to be one of them (presumably because of subconscious beliefs that people 'should' be fair). In the past 16 months I've increased my income by 2.5x AND now receive overtime pay after quitting my original job having been told I was receiving "market-related" rates.
