“I need feminism because… I deserve my other 33 cents” Again, with the wage gap? How is this so hard to comprehend? Most first world countries have discrimination watch-dog corporations in place to ensure that equal work is rewarded with equal pay regardless of gender. Most people don’t understand that it is illegal for companies to discriminate against people because of their gender. Most companies don’t discriminate with their payments because if they get caught out they can be sued into the ground while the victim of discrimination gets a hefty compensation. Most people don’t realise that most companies don’t discriminate because it isn’t in their best interests, and because it leaves them incredibly liable. So where does this 77c come from? It is a statistic based on the average wage of the female population (not individuals) compared to the average wage of the male population (not individuals). So when the majority of men are working in jobs that are more time consuming, more physically demanding, less flexible with their lifestyles (think along the lines of CEO positions, construction, mining, oil industries…) than they will, on average, earn more than the majority of women who work in jobs that aren’t as physically demanding, that aren’t as time consuming, that fit in with their desired lifestyles and consequentially aren’t as higher paid. Men aren’t being paid more than women when you compare it on an individual level, ensuring that all the common denominators are of an equal standard between them both. Men as a collective, are being paid more than the collective of women, because on average men will make more sacrifices for their careers than women choose to, and as a result they make up the majority of higher paid careers because those higher paid careers are are more demanding. As a woman, nothing infuriates me more than seeing other females making demands based on self entitlement, especially when they manipulate statistics to prove their dishonest agenda. If you want your equality and your “33c” you can damn well put in the equal effort and earn it. Besides… It is actually 23c. fraudulentfeminist -- source link
