[1]Top BBC men take wage cuts in gender pay row:

    Six top male BBC presenters agreed to take wage cuts Friday after
    the broadcaster's female China editor quit in protest over unequal
    pay.

    The six, who are among the British Broadcasting Corporation's
    top-earning journalists, voluntarily decided to take a pay cut

  Arguably this makes the situation worse. For the BBC or any company it
  is all about the money. Taking a pay cut, though well intentioned,
  doesn't do anything but help the BBC's bottom line. Two or three years
  ago, maybe the bad press would kick-start change. Today, not so much.

  If the male presenters demanded their full pay while not going on air
  or protesting the disparity on-air until there is pay parity, that's
  meaningful. Or they could take a pay cut and cut their work for the BBC
  to the same proportion.

  As it is, it's a mindless empty gesture that helps the wrong people, In
  My Humble Opinion.
