“earning only about 83 cents for every dollar that men earn,”

This is BS misleading deceit.

That implies that when I was an engineer, I was only getting 83 cents while my similar male colleague was getting 100 cents.

Total BS. Does not account for tons of things, including that women usually work in lesser jobs, when they do at all, often for good reason - raising the family directly.

There were very few times I ever thought I was treated with prejudice in my professional job. And sometimes when I did, I wasn’t sure if it was just that I was the sucker who got stuck with the hot potatoe.

Sorry to go off on tangent. Off the soapbox....

Correct!

True statement: For ever dollar an Alaskan earns, a Russian earns forty dollars (because there are so many more Russians than Alaskans).

I was divorced for 20 years. No alimony, no child support. I owned my own homes meaning I bought and sold a few times plus a weekend cabin in the mountains for a number of years all the while starting a business from scratch and maintaining it for 19 years. The only time I was broke was when I had a guy hanging like an albatross around my neck. Its a miracle I didn’t have to pay him alimony.

Fortunately I met Mr. GG2 who is not an albatross and things have been great ever since.

These threads never fail to turn into the butt hurt breakfast club of guys who chose poorly. 😆
