Facebook Exec: Girls Face "Toddler Wage Gap"
iOTW Report ^ | 1/26/16 | Aurelius

Speaking at a summit in Switzerland last week, Facebook Sheryl Sandberg claimed that little children are now facing a "toddler wage gap."

"We have a toddler wage gap," Ms. Sandberg said. "The boys are taking out the trash, it takes less time than cleaning the dishes and they get bigger allowances. We start out in our homes with these very different expectations and the time spent on these tasks is incredibly important."

She continued, "Mothers will systematically overestimate their sons' crawling, and underestimate their daughters.'"

Biases toward specific genders is like racism, Ms. Sandberg continued.

"Men are promoted based on potential, women on what they’ve proven. Same as race. A white-sounding name on a resumé versus a black-sounding name is worth eight years of work on a resumé," she explained.

Before joining Facebook, Ms. Sandberg was the Vice President of Global Online Sales at Google.

Seems that the left has and is experincing an intelligence gap with the rest of the world. Sadly, as time goes on, the gap will only grow bigger.

Many years ago, when my wife was hospitalized, I decided I needed the kids to take over some of the chores. I posted an assignment sheet. Across the top, the names of the three kids. I made up three lists of chores that I thought were about equally difficult. I pinned one list under each name, then rotated the lists weekly. That way, each child got a turn at every chore. The kids accepted it as fair, and it saved me a lot of arguing.

It’s all made up.

Children get to do the same chores.

Girls get more money. Ask the Dads.

No toddler gets wages.

We are being lectured by another childless liberal female.
