Should they put signs up at schools that say 'Boys can do anything Girls can do'?

Male or female....a fair days pay for both. My partner works two jobs and we have adapted to the changings of the roles with me at home and she pulling in the bucks. Ive never had it so good:) However, some jobs... females can just never do, but nice to see equal-opportunity in the pay bracket coming to a final balance.

Equal pay for equal work surely only fair.
Some women work harder than men look at the check out chicks compared to the blokes.
But there will be some, I have seen them, who use feminist to do far less than men working along side them.
Government however, this one for sure, must stop breaking promises, cuts can be made in other places to cover fairness in the workplace.

Well belly...its comes down to the decorum of the individuals......of which one's situation can vary, doesn't it. But I thinks its coming along just fine. There will be always some who wont play nice. Governments! What are we going to do with them. However, I think they are seeing some are not so naive as in times gone passed...and their flock is getting smarter. Maybe honesty will be the only way.

Fingers crossed.

You have been down this 'stirring' path before Truth (not).

While female wages have risen over time there is still much disparity in various fields with men usually pushing ahead when women take time out to raise children. There are still more male CEOs, more male engineers and more male doctors. Should we have a massive campaign to tell girls they can go out and be doctors, CEOs and engineers.

No. Who gives a toss. Men and women have access to almost any occupation - it comes down to personal ambition, hard work and endeavour.

Does it really matter if girls/women earn more than boys/men at some point? Overall men are still ahead if that is your desirable status quo or goal. Whatever rocks your boat.

You will only get the usual "women are all bad" brigade on their high horses with this nonsense.

We will truly be equal when nobody bats an eye should men or women be slightly ahead on the pay scales at some point in their working lives and when people start taking personal responsibility for their own destiny and stop blaming others for everything that goes wrong in their lives.
