Quick poll before bed

Taking the definition of feminism as:
The view, articulated in the 19th century, that women are inherently equal to men and deserve equal rights and opportunities.
and remembering that you don't have to select entries if you don't want to (and therefore don't need to choose "I am a woman and a feminist" if you're not a woman):

What, so you want people to work for less in the public sector for the sheer love of it?

Did you miss the "It shouldn't" at the beginning of the comment?

I don't have all the answers, and I'm happy to admit that. Nurses and teachers are underpaid, yes, but the only way to pay them the same as accountants or whatever would be to privatise the NHS and the education system and run it as profit-making ventures, which I think would be far worse for the country than the under-paying. It's not just a "women don't get paid enough, pay them more" issue - the world just doesn't work like that. Sorry.

Or we could pay them more out of money collected in taxes?

If you can persuade people that they aren't already paying enough tax then good luck...
