If healthy men are 5 to 20 percent body fat and healthy women are 20 to 40 percent body fat.

Then for a healthy male individual that is 100 units of mass they would have 80 to 95 units of lean body mass

80 units of  lean muscle mass / 95 units of lean muscle mass approximately equals 0.84210526315 

But for a healthy female with 100 units of mass they would have 60 to 80 units of lean body mass

60/80 = 0.75

But if women are typically 60 kilograms and men are typically 70 kilograms

(80/95)*(60 kilograms /70 kilograms) approximately equals
0.72180451127
 kilograms of female muscle per kilogram of male muscle in average

And 0.75*60/70 approximately equals
0.64285714285

So women should only make 64 to 73 cents
For every 100 cents men make per hour

On physical Labour tasks if they get equal pay per 
Equal mechanical work

Because the mechanical work done is equal to the dot product
of the force resisted times the displacement against  that resistance

The maximum force is directly proportional to the cross section of muscle and the maximum displacement is directly proportional to the length of the muscle

 cross sectional area times length is directly proportional to mechanical work done by muscle
And cross sectional times length is also directly proportional to muscle volume

So muscle volume is directly proportional to muscle work

And muscle volume times muscle density equals muscle mass

If you think about it then the work someone can do per time should be directly proportional to their muscle mass except it is more complicated because endurance and other factors should be considered 

As people with smaller cross sectional areas of muscle can still sometimes perform the same or more work in a given amount of time if they are not doing 1 repetition maximum weight lifting but something higher like thousands of repetitions or more even.  This is because even though their maximum 1 repetition maximum force tends to be lower there 1000 repetition maximum force  can be higher if they have better endurance.

however this is still biased in women's favor because the world record for male marathon time is less than the world record for female marathon time because men typically have better endurance

So the mechanical work someone can do in an eight hour day should be more on 
average for men than women by an even greater extent

So the average healthy women is capable of doing only 64 to 73 percent as much 
mechanical work as the average healthy man based on these calculations

But if women make 79 cents per every 100 cents men make instead of 64 to 73 cents they
 maybe overpaid for doing less mechanical work if they are paid for eight hours of 
mechanical work at the maximum power they are capable of for that duration.

This of course is oversimplified in numerous ways economical, biomechanical and physiological, etc.
 but not as much oversimplified as the epic failure of 79 cents per the dollar

For one  people generally are not paid to max out on mechanical work performed but
to do complicated skilled  tasks at sub maximal work, secondly my calculations were  not
laboratory driven or task specific.  But we do have a consistent way to compare 
performance across genders for both weightlifting and endurance, the olympics
 plus numerous "more" formal scientific studies.

Real women work but feminists are slanderous  jerks always accusing men of hating
but with bogus statistics they are baiting.

This post is not misogynistic because feminists hate  women and not all feminists are 
women and not all women are feminists.  

 Thus I am not calling all women slanderous jerks only feminists some of whom are men
