"Be reasonable," Fox News urged viewers Thursday in a segment about all the wacky stuff people for some reason believe. You know, stupid stuff like climate change and ghosts. And this:
“What about wage war?” [Elisabeth] Hasselbeck wondered, referring to gender inequality in the workplace.“It’s true, you women earn less than we men do,” [John] Stossel replied. “But there are reasons for it. You, maybe, are more sensible. You have put more emphasis in not working in a horrible place, not working in dangerous places, you take time off to take care of a family. There’s a reason for that.”
Revel in your crappy pay, ladies! Embrace it as a personal virtue. If you're having trouble paying the bills, remind yourself that at least it's a sign you're more sensible than men.
Here's the reality: Women earn less than men straight out of college. The gap grows, even for women who don't "take time off to take care of a family." After you take out wage differences due to women having taken that time off to do the necessary work of raising children (work for which women in other countries get paid leave, by the way) and having different occupations than men (though it's not like there isn't discrimination in the fact that predominantly male occupations tend to pay more than predominantly female ones), 41 percent of the pay gap is still left to explain.
Hmm ... wage war, anyone?
what you hear from the right wing is the mindset of the republicans as well you've heard the knuckle dragging cracks like aspirin between the knees for contraception, women have ways to shut down rape, God intended for it to happen and the list goes on each week another head shaker. they are called the party of stupid coined by one of their own, but it's been unclear maybe not so much now who the stupid reference applies to.
