    Why in 2018 are we still having to deal with this?!? Why would the Dallas Medical Journal publish this? All of the hard working, devoted and productive @WomenSurgeons out there prove that this just is not true!

    Published in this month’s Dallas Medical Journal. These kinds of views - that women are paid less because they are less productive and distracted by their family obligations - are not supported by actual data. The gender pay gap is not “fair.” It is discrimination.
