keep the faith
BG is actually right on this one. I researched it both during my feminist days and again after I repented from a form of self-hatred I refer to as "male feminism".

The 77 cent or 80 cent figure is based on laughable logic. Not even taking into account different career choices. Obviously not taking into account the greater male preference for jobs that are actually dangerous and lead to deaths. Obviously not taking into account that mothers are best suited to be with infants and very young children (if there must be a choice in the matter).

Equal pay for equal work is what we should be after (and we are seeing 97%+ parity if you measure it by that, in some cases over 100%). That's not at all what the antiquated "statistics" Obama and the feminist league are still pushing. If we want to play by their rules we might as well keep punting that football down the road forever.

The one thing I learned from being a male feminist -- and now repenting -- NOTHING will ever satisfy them.

Fortunately I've also realized that most women don't identify as feminist and there's lots of great women out there -- and don't be deceived these are the majority of women! -- who don't get sucked into this whole victim complex. Those are the women I've decided I'll primarily defend, as is my honor and duty to do so as a man.

Whiners, complainers, blame-everyone-else'ers -- I was once one too, I understand the mentality. But that's not how respect is earned.

And Obama and the United Nations rallying so hard behind feminism even if their main points are based on incredibly spurious logic and "statistics"... that should tell you something about the goals of socialism and one world government in general. Reduce people's ability to engage in logic. Narrow the discourse. Separate dissenters (or even people who failed to pay close enough attention the newest PC rules of language) and shame them.

We should be able to see where this is going. We aren't exactly immune to history.

I'm sure it's an exaggeration, but I wouldn't go throwing "economic fact" talk that pay is equal. I highly doubt given the history women have had in this country.

Yeaaaa some of these views are a little too conservative even for this Republican.

I feel like you might agree with the Republican who thinks a woman's body will biologically reject a baby in instances of rape ;)

"Robbie" is now hanging in the Lookout having a cold one and telling her Alpine Zone story to a few locals who happen to be K zoners. All are amused.

Nobody said it's precisely equal (which would be highly statistically unlikely in any data set involving millions of individual points). The myriad economic research on this issue shows it's approximately equal to approximately 5% down at very worst, but even the worst-case scenarios admit it's possible it's very close to equal and they potentially didn't control enough. That's your approximate spread based on scores of accredited research in this area, which to my mind are more valid than your "high doubts".

The whole 77% thing (which the president currently uses in speeches) is a complete and total lie, with absolutely no legs to stand on. It's intentionally arrived at by looking at illogical apples to oranges data, which no economist would do. This is known; it is not some "theory" or "biased political opinion". Not that you should need the ghosts of Milton Friedman, Adam Smith, or JMK to investigate this, common sense and 3 minutes of thought should lead you to realize the 77% (or 79% or 80%) figure for the same work is BS.

If you want a good laugh, look into how they "logically" arrive at that 77% figure. Then come back to this thread and post a reply.

I can move it to misc. forum I guess. We typically don't allow political discussions on the forums. This topic IMO isn't political in the sense of dems vs republicans discussion.
