The panel about inequal pay for women was really eye opening and upsetting. There was a panel of women who all had experiences with being paid less than their male counterparts in their lifetimes. However, Nicole's mom's story really touched me the most when she was talking about raising Nicole and her brother and at some point got divorced. I just thought to myself that if that woman was being paid less than men at her job, that's so ridiculously unfair and sad.
It made me think about my mother and how she raised both my sister and I as a single mother, and that perhaps she could have been getting paid unfairly, which makes me sick, because we grew up pretty much in poverty.
I don't have a solution to this problem except that people must speak about it and educate each other about how women get paid less and work just as hard...It's just not fair, and it's a very sad situation.
