It's less about women have to pay twice as much as it is that women are willing to pay twice as much.
When no one buys something because it's too expensive, the price drops until they do.
Women's shoes cost $300 because they keep buying $300 shoes.
Men's shoes cost $100 because anything more than that and they look for shoes that cost only $100.
From what I hear from the higher end of salaries, like for actors and actresses, man actors get paid more. But the problem there is usually that they're competing against being replaced with a younger unknown actor whose hungry for a bite of fame. If they lose money on a bad performance guarantee, they make it up in the lesser pay.
Having lived in the lower end (minimum wage), these kinds of jobs required me to work twice as hard for equal pay. When a woman felt like she couldn't do a job, she stopped working until a man did it for her. I recently witnessed three women failing (or slowly succeeding) at a near-simple job that would have taken only one man to accomplish. (Putting some old TV on a trolly thing.)
At minimum wage, my job was to move all the heavy stuff and burn out all my energy. The women get to stand around the cashier. On a slow day, they just gossip to one another.
But I've only got a perceptive of a male and I've got a pretty neutral disposition on politics. Everyone can find their own problems with any system.
