So a currently trending topic on Twitter is #EqualPayDay , where people are talking about the "pay gap", and how people believe that due to the differences in earnings between men and women, women are effectively working for free for the for the rest of the year.

What do you think to this? The differences in earnings between men and women are due to different career choices and working hours rather than anything else, so why aren't women being encouraged to work differently, rather than spreading the myth that men and women are paid differently for the same work?
