Oops, “Prostitutes”

[Yardstick]

Funny, when college Republicans try this stunt, the liberals fly into a rage and start throwing the cookies around.

Ot “totally unique.” That’s one of my favorites. Shows up surprisingly often.

[mamelukesabre]

Women make 75% of what men make??

Then why do I always have to pay the woman’s way when on a date?!!?!?!???!?!!

From now on she pays 75% of her own way.

[mamelukesabre]

I think the important thing to take away from this is that the women were the ones baking cookies. Now, if they had been in their third trimester and didn’t have shoes on, all would be right in the world. ;)

LOL! Thanks for that one. My green tea came out my nose. It felt good though.

How plausible do liberals/leftists find it that employers would willingly pay a 33% premium for a male employee over a female?

Perfectly plausible. Corporations have unlimited funds for bribery, pay-offs to CEOs, and to support crime. Where have you been?

[gaijin]

The lesbo NOW's ripped off this idea from YAF College Republicans, who FIRST held affirmative action bake-sales, which were hugely successful.

In the 60's, WE were supposedly the angry, non-creative ones.

AND "N.O.W." THEY ARE.

[samtheman]

women who do NOT take time off from their careers for children, receive nearly identical pay as the men in the same professions

Exactly. There already is equal pay for equal experience and education levels. Anyone claiming otherwise is an outright liar.

"more unique ?"

I think she meant, "more eunich".

[ken21]

that’s right.

and, as warren farrell points out in “the myth of male power”,

men work longer hours than do women.

[ishabibble]

Several. Here is a pretty good editorial about it from of all places!

I wonder what would happen if they charged black men more than white men?

[Secret Agent Man]

Now in the real PC world of today, men simply would stop buying the damn cookies and the businesses would cry, the women would cry as the bakery upped its prices, and the government would raise taxes on everyone to redistribute ‘cookie pork’ back to the ailing bakery industry.

[Secret Agent Man]

Many men would pay more anyways.

“Honey, can you lend me 75 cents?”

[Secret Agent Man]

Excellent points you both bring up. They never factor in that you don’t get promotions while on maternity leave. Your career is on hold because you aren’t at the office working. Duh.

[visualops]

...Or start their own business

For which their will be advantages since a woman-owned business is considered a "minority-owned" business and eligible for various federal programs.

[MEGoody]

I’m quite sure that, unless a guy was trying to get in the pants of one of the girls involved in the bake sale, he went somewhere else to satisfy his sweet tooth.

[Ursine_East_Facing_North]

The source isn’t surprising at all, actually. That’s a libertarian feminist website - i.e. they actually believe in gender equality, and not anti-male bigotry as one would expect from most forms of feminism.

The chains should be long enough to reach the piano so she can enteratin my FRiends, too...
