I admit that I’m confused by this.
MADISON, Wis. – Women across the country are preparing to march on the nation’s Capitol, including thousands from Wisconsin.
The “Women’s March on Washington” is planned for Saturday, Jan. 21 following the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump from near the U.S. Capitol on a route near the National Mall.
Organizers have said that the march is not against Trump or the legitimacy of his election, but to bring focus to women’s issues.
“We want to send a message to the incoming administration and to the sitting members of congress that we also want to be heard,” Wisconsin organizer Jessica Hughes said. “We want to know that the promises that were made to bring this country back together are being followed.”
For the past few elections, including the one last month, more women have voted than men. most exit polls show that roughly 52% of the voters who voted in the November election were women. I’d say that women are “heard” just fine. They are, in fact, the single largest voting bloc in the nation. What makes these women think that they aren’t being heard?
Let me guess at the liberal march agenda:
1.) we want to continue to kill unborn babies, 50% if whom are female.
2.) we want men, with men parts, who feel like a “women”, in showers and locker rooms with us.
3.) we want Hillary, not just pardoned, but given her own holiday.
How about equal pay for equal work? Women are still around 70% of what men get for the same work. You can look it up.
Nord,
Fiction. If that was true, why don’t employers fire all the men, hire women, pocket the 30% savings if skill set is equal?
Nope. BLS disagrees with you.
I don’t know why, maybe because the same employers that pay less for women are philosophically opposed to women in the workplace? You claim to be the expert on fair wages, explain it to us. Use references and facts. Thanks.
Nord,
That’s because it is impossible to measure this in equal skill sets.
No 2 employees are ever alike!
I tried to give you a hint, but you decided to roll in the fictional muck anyway.
So my daughters engineering degree and PE aren’t less valuable than a guys? Your really are clueless.
Nord,
Depends. Have you found a legitimate, objective way, to measure skill sets, experience, employee motiviation, attitudes, work habits, etc.?
That will always be a subjective evaluation.
You assume its gender, when it could be a myraid of subjective factors.
Nord,
Besides….what stops her from creating her own engineering firm?
She can hire all women and pay them 125% of men’s average salary.
Walk the talk.
I don’t have to assume anything; the statistics show that men are paid more than women for the same job/education/experience. You are assuming that is OK.
It’s a stretch to think a 27 YO can start their own consulting firm. Just more of your feeble attempt at rationalizing your weak position.
Nord,
When you accept the flawed assumptions of the “study”.
No 2 employees are ever alike. PERIOD. To say they are is just ignorant.
Many start businesses in their 20s. I did. why don’t you start one for her and pay all the women 125% of men?
Coward. Chance to put your money where your mouth is.
Maybe you are correct, and we should never, ever accept anything that anyone else ever says, not statisticians, or scientists, nor engineers. Just rely on your gut instinct and ideology. Hence I’ll never believe anything you ever say again.
Nowhere did I ever say they were 100% equal. On an individual basis I agree. But as an average across the board men are still paid more than women. But you are making the assumption that men are automatically 30% better than women. That is your ignorance showing.
You bought a franchise. Far cry from starting an engineering firm.
No coward here. They whupped that out of me in basic and AIT. You should have tried that.
Nord,
So you are not going to start an engineering company that pays women 125% of men?
Aren’t you willing to put your money where your values are?
Coward.
If you say so, it must be right, right?
Now have the last word.
Nord,
You talk and talk, but are unwilling to put your money where your mouth is.
Do it!
Start your own business and pay your women employees more than men, simple as that.
You will not be in business long if your employer pay is simply a gender evaluation vs. a productive employee evaluation.
Employers are not suppose to take gender into account! Heck, liberals don’t even want employers to keep men, who feel like women, out of women’s bathroom these days!
