I feel like it's the framing. We all know the background reasoning is for the sake of equality. And yet it's not taking about equal earnings, it's taking about women earning more. This echoes other discussions where it feels as though the goal is not so much to achieve equality, as it is to reverse the trend and put women in a dominant position. And of course most people deny this is happening so it makes some people feel weird to see this obvious nonegalitarianism
