The goal should be for women's wages to increase to the same level as male wages for the same job (if such a discrepancy exists) - not for men's wages to be cut to match ffs! If there aren't some female presenters at the BBC getting pay raises to match the pay cuts that the males are taking then this is an absolute farce.

It matters not how it impacts on their lives, it's a point of principle.

We don't know whether the wages have been brought in line, it would be up to the female counterparts to respond as to whether they've had any increment.
