I faced this upwards of 10 years ago working at Target when I had just graduated Highschool and was attending trade school at night.

I had to be at Target at 5am to unload the trucks every morning. Prolly half the employees on the shift were women.

For some reason, even tho we all had the same job title, women never got picked to unload the trucks and instead got to mill about on the floor, putting clothes on racks and shelves.

Which mind you, wouldn't bother me since they're weak and the physical labor of throwing boxes off of a full semi trailer is hard, but they got paid more than the men almost universally (we asked around how much they made as they were friendly sorts, I don't blame them for the situation I blame management) while doing much less important work.

The Store Manager was a 40 something year old, childless, bitter wench. Because obviously that's how the situation came to be. A man hater put in charge of 50/50 men and women heavily favored the women, big wow
