At least we got rid of the pater familias law. That's gotta be a plus for women.

I don't really understand why this is still a thing. The only excuse I can come up with is Greed (money why we get paid less) and power.

I have a female friend who blames women for not getting paid the same. She says we should fight for it when negotiating. That it is up to us. My argument is, yes we should negotiate, but we should be offered the same amount initially as a man. Why should I have to fight for a 40% increase in wage when, if I was offered the same as a man, it would be about 10-20% more. Then I get called greedy for asking for 40% more? NO.

So the idea is that women are always to blame. "It" is always YOUR fault. Women are all victims of yourselves and should just accept it.

Brilliant.

Well, women are hired just to meet "gender equality metrics", so obviously they aren't as qualified as male applicants, so they should be paid less.

And this gets me so mad as a defender of all meat flaps!

Well...

"Just want to give a heads up to the women! You have rights! A right to cook and a right to clean. Today is Sunday and the NFL playoffs our on! I suggest you stop your b!tch!ng/protesting during this time. Because you also have a right to get slapped."

It still amazes me that people are so stupid when it comes to social media and the internet.

That's as bad as criminals posting videos of their crimes

... Or the secret service agent that posted she wouldn't take a bullet for Trump

There are things you can say (verbally) to close friends with a grin and an elbow-jab,
But if there is a wrong way to interpret something - it will be taken that way once posted - ESPECIALLY if you hold office or are in some position of authority.

Yep and she is the type that will end friendships over logical arguments, so I just change the subject on her when she gets on her high horse. It's pretty easy usally all I have to say is "I need another beer how about you?"

I think "we", the USA, are on the cusp of a Dark Age where rational thought is a hated fringe movement.

You got that s*** right. Rational thought has left the building. Emotionally driven thought is the new mantra.
