Boy I wish I was the president so I can pass laws for equal pay and hopefully get congress to agree ohh if I was a president who looked like a feminist
The thing is that the companies are so big and we are in a mixed economy, it would be basically impossible to pass. (To my limited understanding I may be wrong)
"Get congress to agree"
Wow.
What an easy job.
Congress loves to agree with the president.
Congress totally isn't why the American government works so slowly.
"We want equal opportunity to go to college." I'm with you there, ladies. But, 51% of college degrees are awarded to women, and most HS class officers (president, VP, etc.) are women. So, I think you're there.
"We want equal pay for equal work." With you again. How could anyone be for anything else, if the work is truly equal.
"We demand that women, as an average, earn the same as men, on average." What the heck, ladies (and effete, fawning, PC males)? The averages count different jobs, different years of experience, different everything. That's your 75% or 68% or whatver the number is today. All the data THAT'S CORRECTED FOR EVERYTHING says that discrepancy is like 99% or 98%. The last bit is probably because women (on average) don't negotiate as much as men.
"Everything's OK now" would probably be a horrific finding for all the Womyn's Studies departments, though. It's too bad this whole sham draws attentiona away from the real problems women have.
I don't get it. Sure call yourself a feminist, take a few selfies. Women are still being stoned to death in Afghanistan. Oh wait! You don't want to help them, you just want to make your own life easier!! That's not 'feminism', that's called being a self serving asshole.
Are you
Are you being serious
This is great, this is everyone, not just women showing support for half the world's population that has spent thousands of years being oppressed, and still is. This is wonderful, and you need to lighten the fuck up.
