Some point to certain purported wage and salary differences between men and women as evidence of sexism, particularly in the corporate world. Using the slogan "equal pay for equal work", agitators claim that women who hold positions held mostly by men in any line of work earn unfairly smaller wages and salaries. However, these allegations fail to accurately compare the actual work (i.e. value added to the company) done by the individuals in question. Since men and women naturally have different strengths and weaknesses, it's quite natural in certain jobs for men to perform better (and vice-versa—in certain activities women are better). | Some point to certain purported wage and salary differences between men and women as evidence of sexism, particularly in the corporate world.
