[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to answer the OPs question because they are historically female-dominated professions. And well... that is how we treat women.[/quote]

What's the basis for this claim, particularly with teachers. Please show how teacher's salaries are out of line with those of other local government employees. Let's look at Fairfax, for example. A teacher with a BA starts at $53K for 195 day year. An Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney (ie, a prosecutor) starts at $59K. The ACA has a JD and works the full year. I've never seen anyone claim that prosecutors are  historically female dominated profession.[b] So, please explain how the teacher's salary is unfair?[/b] [/quote]
it's almost like...both are underpaid and their low pay combined with poor working conditions leads to a shortage of both? (https://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/prosecutors-wanted-district-attorneys-struggle-recruit-retain-lawyers-2022-04-12/ -- shortage is well documented). I don't see how one profession being underpaid (prosecutors) makes the underpayment of another OK. [/quote]
