“Equal pay for equal work”is a phrase by the American women who feel that they are unfairly treated by society．They say it is not right for women to be paid less than men for the same work．
Some people say men have more duties than women．A married man is thought to earn money to support his family and to make the important decision，so it is right for them to be paid more．Some are even against married women working at all．When wives go out to work，they say，the home and children are given no attention to．If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full-time jobs，they will be unable to do the things they are best at doing：making a nice home and bringing up children．
