"A worker is worthy of his wages." 1st. Timothy 5:18
Women with equal education and seniority, working equal hours, are paid 98% to 101% of what men are paid.
The problem is that many people believe they should be paid what they think they are worth, not what the job market says they are worth.



The Law of Supply and Demand is a law, not a patriarchal concept.

Since I been been an attorney, I have NEVER personally witnessed a woman being paid at a different rate from a man. It is common for people who do what I do to be paid in proportion to the income they generate. What could be more fair? What I have witnessed is many women, very skilled at our profession, making choices that reduce their billable hours. This is not a criticism. In my family, my wife does not have an outside job. That is a choice we have made that directly impacts our household income. If, in order to take care of family issues a woman (or a man, but I have seen it more with women) spends more time away from the office, that is a choice they make. If they bill 1,700 hours a year and I bill 2,000+, there is absolutely no discrimination when they get paid 85% of what I do. Yet, the much bandied about 79% number has difficulty accounting for this. It only sees equivalent job responsibilities and equivalent qualifications.

The feminists will claim that it is an inherently biased patriarchal system that places the greater burden of child rearing on the mother. I say it is each family's choice and most women with a family have an innate drive to care for their children while the equivalent drive in a man tends towards provision. Splitting up necessary tasks within a family has been one major feature that has contributed to the advancement of economics and culture worldwide. We should not all be viewed as the same because we are not. Like I said, each family can order itself in the way it deems appropriate, but ignoring nature, pretending it does not exist, or viewing it as oppression is ridiculous.

I was highly, highly considering an Audi for my next car. Would be my luxury choice. Always wanted one.

**** that noise. I'll spend my money elsewhere.

I have an older Audi - love the Quattro system, have looked at the new ones, but I too may consider other options. In 2010 I decided to buy a Ford pickup rather than a Dodge or GM because Ford did not take any bailout $$.

Richard Branson and Obama seem to really like each other....Awww......

I don't think it was the intent of this photo to be funny....But it is and I am putting it in the funny pictures thread....

The secret service detail didn't drop him dead in his swim suit for threatening the former President?

Trump even helped Lena Dunham lose weight....The lengths he will go to make America Great Again is amazing...

Do not misunderstand the feminist movement. Their reason for existence was made clear when Bill Clinton took advantage of a young intern. Eleanor Smeal, head of the National Organization of Women fully supported the man who committed the quintessential act of sexual harassment. She dismissed the victim as inconsequential and said, "We should all put on our Presidential knee-pads and give him a blow job for keeping abortion legal."

The leader of the feminist movement abandoned all of their stated principles to support Bill Clinton. NOW and the feminist movement exist only to elect Democrats and advance socialism.

Feminists will say the presumed drives are arbitrary social constructs caused by the patriarchy itself. So then they seek to force their own new arbitrary social construct of their own engineering? Pah-LEZE! And I'd argue back that there is at least a more biological construct involved in women's and men's proclivities for their current social preferences, from which this social construct derived.

This pathetic snowflake's "soul crushing" experience is her candidate losing? I would love to have that be my "soul crushing" experience in life. She is pathetic In every sense of the self-important screw-you-and-your-legitimate problems way. Maybe she needs to stick her hand down her pants and figure some things out

Trump even helped Lena Dunham lose weight....The lengths he will go to make America Great Again is amazing...

 

[protias]

Ridicule is what Audi deserves. It's the oversimplification of a complex issue where the best evidence shows any apparent "wage gap" is based upon a combination of factors incuding career choices women make and inaccurate "equivalent" jobs for the sake of comparison.

Beyond that, it is blatant exploitation of a popular (populist) issue. As for what I will tell my daughters...it won't be anything that reinforces the victimology pap that was spewed on the commercial.

You missed how their board is made up of white men. Not a single woman or person of color. How nice of them to say everyone else should be inclusive when they themselves are the misogynists and racists. It seems to be a theme with liberals that they are so condescending that women and people of color will never be on their board of directors.

So much more to do.

If that IS how this works, then progressives need to follow that to its logical conclusion. For example:

We must be able to prevent radicalized homegrown Muslims from committing acts terrorism. By registering muslims and knowing who they are, we can do that. If they are radical Muslims they are pretty likely to commit terrorism.

And we can play this game all day for all the progressive whims. But, instead of the "pre-crime" nonsense, let's just not make criminals of people who haven't harmed anyone.
