I saw this at DU.

If there's an equal pay day, shouldn't there also be an equal work day?

I thought it was at least worth discussing.

At one point I saw one of the "studies" that came up with this pay gap. It combined jobs that had the same educational level in order to make comparisons. So female waitresses and secretaries, who work in safe, indoor spaces were compared with miners, construction workers, electric linemen, and other male professions that pay higher because the workers operate in unsafe, uncomfortable, outdoor conditions.

It's all a farce.

If you compare men and women DOING THE SAME JOB and with the same years of uninterrupted experience, the women make slightly MORE (because companies don't want the risk of being sued for pay discrimination).

I thought for sure that electing a homo president would be one of the ways.

Two Ways to Hurt Women in the Workplace

1) Tackle them with a full-body, running tackle.

2) Set their cubicals on fire.

If employers could pay women 77% as much as men for the same work, why would any men have jobs (other than jobs too strenuous for most women to perform)? Employers would save a ton of money just by not hiring any men.
