I have been reading comments in a post about attitudes about feminism. I have noticed there is denial about the male/female pay gap. With all the conservative bullshit rhetoric about enforcing laws that already exist isn’t it hypocritical that equal pay is not enforced? Equal pay for equal work has been the law since 1963. Women have lost countless billions since then as a result of non compliance.

Anyone can see the data -- just go to bls.gov and search "Median Weekly Earnings by Sex". You'll get a pdf that shows the wage gap, broken down by occupation. It's actually worse at the top (in the professions, like attorneys) than at the bottom (where everyone tends to make minimum wage, the gap is smaller there). Unionized jobs have a smaller gap. But for most people, the overall trend is a gender wage gap. Conservatives are often not that good at finding unbiased data, and have trouble when the facts contradict their beliefs.

@Dave75 This is because MAGA is Cover for make (white male chrisian) America great again and the exact reason why it is a failure as well. Failing to include ALL Americans; Woman and POC in in Enforcing the Laws that Govern Wage Disparities is Clearly Not a Part of tRumps Im- Maga-nation.
@Dave75 u are talking of the post of a guy who hates women , and every once in a awhile he tells us here about his rights , or how women have beaten him up b4! ( not enough if u ask me ) ? He loves trump and he loves to argue . I just ignore him , he ain't worth the points and the fingers on my iPhone . The article he posted yesterday was written by a well known Moran / woman , who has been known arguing rape cases w victims . F this guy . He needs to find Sarah palin and date her . The perfect match .
