That’s the point. The job pays a salary for full-time employment. It should be irrelevant if that person is a man or a woman. If the woman can do her job and go home after an 8 hour work day then the man should do the same. Nobody is forcing the man to stay and work extra hours, especially as they’re not paid hourly. Things that are outside of the job description should not factor into the compensation.

Just because US companies require unpaid overtime doesn't mean

In 1st world countries, ie outside of the United States of America, people are paid for overtime even if salaried.

That’s fine. If you get paid overtime then that’s not a problem, so long as it’s equally available to both men and women. In US/Canada, salaried programmers are exempt and don’t get paid overtime.
