A Woman’ssss Work Is Never Done

To be honest, even with the acid spitting I’d still find it sexist to say that women should be paid less. I think I’d just ask if I could work on a different floor or be issued protective goggles.
See, what I don’t get about the claim that women are paid less for the same work is, wouldn’t that make them more valuable employees? And thus start a bidding war for them?
Claim?
Yeah, IF the wage gap existed in the same world as pervasively equal perception of women and men. But the wage gaps exists cos of an a priori assumption about the worth of women relative to men.
Alternatively, because they tend to pursue jobs in fields that make less money. Or experience more interruptions to their careers: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/04/14/on-equal-pay-day-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-gender-pay-gap/
Women may earn less than men with the same job title and experience, and sometimes less than men with the same job title and LESS experience.

And this starts even in their 20s or with the first promotion, well before any childbearing interruptions.

no, they earn less because less women work in high paying jobs, because they more often don’t need to.
We might add that it turns out one need not even be a woman; the audience merely needs to think you’re a woman, and they treat you worse (MacNell, Driscol, and Hunt, 2014; Ottoboni, Boring, and Stark, 2016). Furthermore, if a man wants to get ahead, he should “talk like a woman” (Jones, 2016).
Honestly, I’m thinking women might need to spit acid before society treats them properly.
No, the wage gap only exists inside the heads of deluded leftists.
The problem with bringing regional and national problems onto the internet is that some people reflexively think they are inherently global problems.
I don’t know much about wages in america, but I DO know that women in Denmark pick up on this and start complaining, as well.
Except women in Denmark are not underpaid when you factor in the type of job and the hourly wage.
Women here tend to take certain jobs, that are not as well paid as those men typically seek. This is a personal choice with a personal consequence.
Women here also take part time jobs more often than men. This is also a personal choice.
So please keep this in mind, when you flaunt your regional and national problems.
Don’t be rediculous, America is the world.
They are not even the continent despite assertions to the contrary.
Yeah, no.
>>>”So please keep this in mind, when you flaunt your regional and national problems..”
So says the gentleman doing so.
it’s exactly the same here in america
The comic is ambiguous, which is good. Is Adam criticizing the practice of paying women less? Or is he having fun on people who believe that women are paid less? We can’t tell. We can read our personal points of view into it, and either enjoy a laugh or be outraged, as we are inclined.
The topic has been done to death by both sides, so I won’t go into it. Both sides insist that they have the facts and that the other side is misleading with their fake numbers…. So, whatever.
Masculine insecurity is a topic that has been done to death, but only by insecure men.
My boss says there are no wage discrepancies and I have been encouraged to believe her.

from germany, but it holds true in other areas as well. Self employed women earn less than self employed men. by a bigger margin than the “pay gap” in the general population.
Internalized misogyny?
I find the idea of internalized misogyny completely bogus. What you are saying is that the majority of self employed women secretly hate themselves to a degree, and thus don’t even try to earn as much as possible in self-employed jobs.
*Or at least don’t try as hard as they could to earn as much as possible
Internalize Misogyny might be a real thing, but it’s obviously only used to silence women who do not agree with with feminism.
sounds to me like they’re the ones with internalized misogyny.
It could be that the quality of work from women is assumed to be worse so they don’t do as well. This was in the news today. A husband and wife switched names for two weeks and the complaints about her work stopped when she used her husband’s name and he started getting complaints that he had never had before.

“Cheryl killed him and laid eggs in his face” is in the minutes of the last faculty meeting
C’mon people… this comment is why we’re all here… to enjoy the moment Adam gives us. Oh and it’s all even out now in my time… women get nearly 80 cents comparably to men…
Well, women already received approximately equal pay for equal work. The 77 cents to the dollar statistic is comparing all women to all men who work. When the comparison is between women and men in similar jobs with similar experience, the gap virtually disappears.
It’s worse then that, the supposed pay-gap statistic doesn’t even account for the difference in hours worked.
Because as it turns out Men are more likely to work full time while Women prefer Part-time.
It’s like how transgenders can’t go to the bathroom because they’re actually evil omnipotent aliens whose powers become magnified the closer they are to a congregation of toilets.
I fully agree on this. Transgendered toilets are evil.
At first, I thought that was a right wing remark, but then I realized: Trump loves china. So…
frankly, the whole concept of gendered bathrooms is silly.
How do you feel about rock people who hate men?
You’ve opened a can of snakes here, Adam.
Say what you will about the empire and the first order but I’m willing to bet captain Phasma got equal pay. That may be why they couldn’t afford rails but I wouldn’t know until I really dug into the ledgers and I’m still not sure which books are canon….
I’m glad I went all the way down to the last comments 😀
Hahaha!
How long do you have to work in one job before the acid-spitting ability is achieved? I want that. The egg laying would just be a bonus.
I wish I could spit acid, I wouldn’t have to be paranoid about strange men and/or dark alleys that way.
