That's how markets work: exchange only happens if one can gain from it, otherwise one doesn't do it. Every transaction follows that same structure: 'I am only going to pay you X which is the current price for something, even though X is lower than my gain from it'. You're demanding gifts be made, and how is that ethical?
They would still be gaining more than they paid if they paid them the same as a man.
And not being subjected to sexist practices is a 'gift'? Seriously? And people wonder why nobody can take this place seriously on gender issues...
And if I paid for bottled water at the grocery down the street what I would pay them in the desert, they'd be gaining even more! And if I gave them everything I had, their profit would be still higher.
