???? I hope they are GOOD restuarants.

Skip the tip too girls.

[dfwgator]

Yeah but if College Republicans hold a bake sale and drop prices for women, they get kicked off of campus.

[Thebaddog]

Do you know of any woman who is being paid less than a man with the same job and the same experience?

[AZLiberty]

Blacks and Hispanics are “underpaid”, too. I think this is unfair.

[Diogenesis]

since it is permanent, it is a discriminatory tax on the Y-chromosome
making the group part of a conspiracy for sex-related discrimination. RICO?

[Vince Ferrer]

Why don’t they just pay all of their employees the same?

[AmericaUnited]

On AVERAGE, women eat 27% less than men, so for the sake of “equality”, will they force feed the women 27% more food also?

[bmwcyle]

No, I’m just trying to amplify the stupid gesture.

[OKIEDOC]

Just more stupid liberal political correctness from a state that went fringe some time back.

These liberals would cannibalize their mothers if they thought their was a buck to be made.

[Glenn]

I pretend to work and my company pretends to pay me.

I dunno whether I should ask for a raise or not.

[Perdogg]

What you do is to have a woman in the office order the food for the guys in the office and have her pick it up.

Aside from the fact that this is a pretty good publicity stunt, this story shows the economics illiteracy that runs rampant.

[Busywhiskers]

Don’t worry. Oregon is just going through another brief psychotic episode and this is just another symptom. We will soon continue our recovery and put stuff like this behind us.

[sarasmom]

My first thought when reading this...LOL!

[kcvl]

Brandi Ulrey, right.

[Vince Ferrer]

Aside from the fact that this is a pretty good publicity stunt,

I'm not so sure about that. If you were with a group of hungry guys, would you want to go to a place that gives you food and a lecture about how evil and unfair everything is, or just someplace that serves food?

Just the food for me please, and hold the whine.

[MaxMax]

Darn them rich evil white men.

My husband and I started out with the same state agency at the same time. Our jobs were comparable with responsibilities, etc; our pay band was the same- yet he started out higher than I did. That was with a Government agency too.

"Do you know of any woman who is being paid less than a man with the same job and the same experience?"

Nope.

I wonder why the restaurant does'nt keep the prices for women patrons 23% cheaper year round? Would'nt that be a better reflection of their beliefs? Women, according to them, make 23% less year round, not just one day.
