The gender gap in pay: Both real and overstated

Some occasions invite word associations: Christmas/presents. July /fireworks. Birthday/cake.

April 14 was Equal Pay Day.

The word that comes to mind: baloney.

Perhaps you missed the occasion? Good. Equal Pay Day is exquisitely forgettable, because both sides in the debate over pay equality for women grind out a product more closely associated with Hormel lunch meat than rational discourse.
