Really? Is it just that cut-and-dry?
For example, having a Living Wage has not worked in every place that has attempted a Living Wage.

I believe they should NOT be paid equally to the guys they work with because they are not as good. So it is a fine line to say that all women should be paid equally to the men they work with.

This smells like the typical response to anti-discrimination, affirmative action, and EEOC claims from (in general) white people and men. Why would bad employees suddenly be an issue just because we are talking about women? Is it okay for men to be horrible employees (as well as the majority of employees) who are paid more? LOL.
Bad employees is a different topic. That should be covered by individual employers rather than being a state and federal concern. If these employers do not give a darn about bad employees before the Paycheck Fairness Act (i.e., reprimanding or firing them), then they should not give a darn about bad employees after the Paycheck Fairness Act.
