Once again, “more” equates to “equality” in the leftist mind. What the hell is wrong with people?
In core Democrat communities, a large percentage of the men are incarcerated or have criminal records, dramatically lowering the earning stats for that group.
OK, ladies, I hope you enjoy doing all the work.
I’ll be out on the golf course in case you decide you need me....
I am sure now the feminists will fight for men to receive the same wages as women. Wouldn’t want to be utter hypocrites, right NOW gals (unequal wages are great only when women are paid more)?
80% of the unemployed are men? I don’t think that can be right. Maybe 80% of the increase in numbers unemployed or such. Do you have a source?
So many well-paying manufacturing jobs have left our shores that our economy is now service-based, and services jobs are typically filled by women. So the men are unemployed.
It really sucks. We don’t make anything anymore, men can’t support their families and the women end up working rather than taking care of their kids.
Good!....they can pay my bills too!
Actually, all I want is for people to stop calling Sarah Palin an ‘ignorant slut’ and Hillary a ‘shrew’ and a ‘b*tch’ because I want my daughter to believe that one day she could be vice president or president no matter the political party she decides to be a part of. It doesn’t have to happen for her, she just needs to believe it could happen.
Oh, and I don’t want her to be the victim of a vicious sexual assault (again) either.
But then these things require a level of personal responsibility and cannot really be legislated or regulated to ‘not happen.’
Too much to ask?
There is no such thing as equal pay, too many variables to consider. Comparable and fair is fine with me.
(How’s that for taking an oversimplified characterization and putting it in real context?)
I know and why can’t they pay you according to your ability to do the job.
Oh, I forgot; that’s too sane.
If women are now paid more than men, it is because employers are only hiring people who will work for the most rock-bottom wages. Everyone else can go to hell in a handbasket.
The real bitter clingers in this picture are the rapacious CEO class, top shareholders, the lobbyists and the Congresspersons continuing to receive huge payouts while the young graduates, middle-aged family-supporters and pre-retirees are being shoved out of the middle class.
Feminism has outlived it usefulness (as all effective social movements eventually do).
Our culture views women as sexual objects now more than ever before. If a young girl doesn’t put out (or at least give a Lewinsky), she is considered a prude and gets no attention from boys, which the culture tells girls is of utmost importance.
All that has done is help young men get laid a lot more.
And the strong push for abortion rights has led to a world with less women. Chinese and Indian parents abort their daughters in hopes of having a son.
Like the Civil Rights movement, Feminism was important. But both movements achieved their objectives, and have spent the last two decades conjuring things up.
Today’s version of feminism benefits men more than women.
Most of the kids in college are female. At the University my daughter attends, 60% are women.
My guess is that the fact that women are paid more on average has nothing to do with the fact that they are women and everything to do with what jobs are open, who wants them, how long they have worked, how productive they are, etc. Same situation when men made more.
Same with every other minority.
You want more money, be worth more. Or become an investment banker or politician. Then you can steal it.
Maybe we should declare War on Women?
Wonder who would win that one?
Did they count the income of self-employed folks on Craig’s List?
The deck sholdn’t be stacked against or in favor of either men or women. If a woman has completed 12 years of med school and residency, she should make every bit as much as her male counterpart. Not more, but every bit as much. And vice versa.

FRiend, you’ll need to find a way to post on me on the thread. I don’t read FReepmail from folks I don’t know. Thanks.
