Here is the problem.
Femies think they should be able to drop out of the workforce for a couple of years thennplug back in as if they never left.
“Supply and demand” is an economic natural law. Gov’t can interfere however it likes, but the same outcome prevails one way or another: if you work hard/smarter/longer/better, you accumulate more wealth. Inequality is as unstoppable as gravity.
Yeah, I’m trying to deal with one now: worked 3 of the last 12 years, but thinks she should be paid commensurate with 12 years’ experience. She’d have a breakdown if I said “you’ve worked 3 years, expect to be paid accordingly.”
Women are the majority of voters in the U.S.A.
Women control most of the wealth in the U.S.A.
Women make most of the spending decisions in the U.S.A.
I am not surprised they are shaping the country to grant them political and practical privilege more than men.
All the while while claiming to be suppressed.
” they’ll eventually get it.”
Yep. ‘To each each - according to their need’. IOW - it will become a competition of who is the greater victim.
Ayn Rand painted the picture perfectly when describing the demise of the ‘20th Century Motor Factory’.
As a woman who has been in the workforce for over 30 years, I am not surprised. I am fine with women chosing more flexibilty, but there is a cost.
“I am fine with women chosing more flexibilty, but there is a cost.”
That reminds me of the old joke about the difference between economics and sociology: Economics is about the choices that individuals make. Sociology is about why individuals don’t have any choices to make.
Men barely work 8 hours a day, on average? I get why women would work a bit less than 8, but it sounds like for every guy we have working 10 hours we have another one working only 6???
bkmk
Doesn’t matter WHY pay is different - women have to get as much as men. Even if they stay home all day.
Just what we all need-—a brain surgeon who gets paid the same as the rural Montana school janitor.
I have worked for over 61 years. Still have one bookkeeping client-—for over 48 years.
I went out on my own- self employed- in 1980. I could set my own time schedule & drop clients I thought might be sketchy.
I didn’t have to deal with the internal bitchiness of other women. One client just retired- he is younger than I, and I did his company bookkeeping for over 45 years.
I have seen at least one study that says that in truth the average woman makes MORE per hour of work than the average man if you look at men and women who do the same kind of work.
I believe it, at least in certain positions that are hard to find women (or “minorities” however defined) for.
Housekeeper wages are low for all.
