Re:Waste of money
The Department of Labor commissioned a study on the gender pay gap. None could be determined to be caused by discrimination. They could not even conclude that there was any pay differential when all non-discriminatory factors were accounted for. "An Analysis of Reasons for the Disparity in Wages Between Men and Women"
If you bothered to actually read the paper, you would have noticed this:
Many researchers have independently derived results in statistical analyses of different data sets that consistently indicate that the main factor accounting for the gender wage gap is differences between the occupations in which men and women typically work.
That's referring to why the "raw" pay differential is 20%. And this:
After accounting statistically for human capital factors other than gender, however, their results indicate that female workers are more concentrated than male workers in low-paying industries. As a result, based on their estimates of gender wage gaps for the most detailed set of industry categories, Fields and Wolff have found that the industries in which the workers are employed can account directly for as much as 22 percent of the gender wage gap. Further, the observe d difference in the distributions of male and female workers among the industries can account for an additional 19 percent of the gap. In total, industry can account for as much as 38 percent of the raw gender wage gap.
The thing is, why do women end up in lower-paying jobs in the first place? This program is designed to address some of that by giving more women the qualifications they need to move into higher-paying jobs.

Re:Still readying the artical but...
hahahha! *cough* You could at least link to some nutters blog for a funny citation.
Oh, you showed a little too much of your hand there. You've just admitted that you plan to use the logical fallacy: Poisoning the Well on any evidence I provide. You've admitted that you're much too biased to even consider it. I'm afraid you lose this one.
If you ever grow up, here are a couple of sources:
