Iceland’s Female Prime Minister Joins Walk Off Strike Against ‘Gender Wage Gap’
Breitbart ^ | 10/24/2023 | KURT ZINDULKA

Icelandic Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir has said that she will join tens of thousands of women walking off the job on Tuesday to protest the widely disputed gender wage gap.

For the seventh time in the history of the country, female Icelanders will take part in the “Kvennafri,” translated into English as “Women’s Day Off”. The strike is intended to protest the supposed inequality faced by women in one of the most egalitarian societies in the world, as well as to protest against the supposed wage gap between men and women.

Joining the tens of thousands of women, Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir of the Left-Green Movement party said that she too would take the day off on Tuesday.

Iceland already has an equal pay law. This is just theatrics for some domestic consumption.

So much of politics is theatrics to divert from reality because reality just isn’t good politics.

Iceland, another place that’s isolated from mass migration by virtue of them being an island. Maybe it’s time we send a few cruise ships filled with thousands of Venezuelan ‘migrants’ there? See how Katrín Jakobsdóttir (aka Little Miss Socialist) handles that.

since transgender men aren’t having that wage gap problem when posing as women maybe women should pose as men. after all, if those women’s rights rally pics are accurate, few have far to go to be considered men. just sayin’.

It’s a “protest movement” supported by the entire political elite of the country, including the Prime Minister.

If women do the same job as men for less, then why aren't the majority of the workforce women already?
What possible reason could there be to hire men at all?

If companies could pay women less, there would be no men employed.

Only a liberal could claim a “gender pay gap” exists while at the same time saying there is no such thing as gender.

A couple days ago, my daughter had a sofa bed couch delivered to her home, paying extra for delivery and setup. I was there installing a new washer and dryer for her.

Two guys came, one pushed the sofa bed out of the delivery truck, and the second guy lifted it overhead and carried it up the stairs. Not a regular couch, but contained a pullout frame and mattress inside. No way could a woman do this, which is why most delivery people are men. Women can't do many jobs that men can do, and it's true of being consistently on the job and not taking time off. Just a fact.
