So true, so frustrating.

Excerpts from this abc news story:  http://www.yahoo.com/s/725054

On average, women still make just 77 cents on the dollar compared to men.

Two actors -- one male, one female -- played job applicants with identical resumes, going for the same job. Volunteers watched their interviews -- scripted so as to be exactly the same -- during which both ask for more money.

The results: The volunteers were 30 percent less likely to hire the woman than the man. The reason: She's too demanding and pushy, even though she said exactly the same things as her male counterpart.

Isn't it a shame that this is still a reality??  It's really quite disturbing.
