Equal pay isn't just a women's issue when women get equal pay, their family incomes rise and the whole family benefits.
It's amazing to me that, in the 42 years since President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law, women today still receive fewer wages than men for the same work.
My own mother always taught me that fairness was a family value - I think equal pay is about fairness for everyone.
