Teri (brace yourself for this) but I agree with you on your take on adults reading YA. Adults want entertainment and YA books have become far more entertaining than a lot of the adult offerings.
And, Snappy, you did the right thing in throwing the word "discrimination" around. Pay inequality is a huge red flag in discrimination cases so that's why employers take notice in such a situation. Everyone is essentially part of a protected class.
It's difficult to prove discrimination in a lot of cases because many employer conduct is open to interpretation. Pay inequality is tangible and easily proven and forces the employer on the defensive in litigation.
