I’m just loving this. I probably shouldn’t, but I do. The Left and its Social Justice Warriors are just imploding in a bazillion ways.

It’s an independent company owned by the CEO. Not a lot of options there, employees!

They say he is taking home $60,000 a year, more than anyone else at the company, and therefore "embraced misogynistic business practices that directly contradict the values of intersectional feminism".

Why does making more money than your employees make you a woman hater? If the employees are upset that the owner of the company makes significantly more than the employees I would suggest that these feminist are communist (no surprise).

I have no idea what intersectional feminism is nor do I care to know.

None of this should be surprising. Those that feel the need to virtue signal are often the worst abusers.

Is it just me or does it seem that a CEO taking home 60K a year isn’t very much?

Not at all! Total Alpha!

Starts a feminist apparel company. Pays himself more than all the women working under him, who he screws, and then fires when they complain about it.
