Women Are Not WorthLess
According to this video, "Women today make just 77 cents for every dollar a man makes — that's an average of $10,622 in lost wages every year. For many women and their families, ending the wage gap would buy a year's supply of groceries, three months of child care, or six months of health insurance. It's time to stop discounting women's voices and paychecks."
I guess that means that every business in America could save 23% on its wage costs starting tomorrow by firing all male workers and simply replacing them with equally-qualified women at wages of 23% less. But wait a minute, that's illegal according the Equal Pay Act of 1963.
Thanks to Christina Sommers for the link to the video.
