You are mistaken
Only a very select few were esteemed. Others were considered 'unclean'
The Bible says that a woman's value is 2/3 that of a man.
Even if they were paid the same wages, most of them can never do the same job as a man.
Best is to pay by ability, not legislated equality.
Should some woman make as much as you but cannot do 1/2 of what you do just because some idiotic law says your employer must pay equally?
Only those ignorant of reality and what God really says in the Bible (plus other religious texts) will support and believe that women are equal.
A woman's place is in the home taking care of the kids and home, not competing in a man's world.
Remember, the Bible says that a man shall work by the sweat of his brow and a woman's labor pains will be increased?
I do not want to do a job and a 1/2 because some woman wants to screw men in the work force. Bad enough there are immoral and downright illegal laws 'protecting' women's rights.
Men are already getting screwed - see the 3rd illegal law in the sexual harassment laws that says a hostile or offensive environment is illegal.
That is directly opposite the constitution's inalienable right to freedom of speech. Remember? Inalienable means it cannot be taken away?
With such laws in place I can see why men fight to keep what is left of a fair shake in the business world.
