What part of "Me? None. But I'm not talking about me." isn't clear in my response above?
Also why "women must be paid less than their Men counterparts"?
They work the same job, they do the same hours, why *must* women get paid less?
I DO speak out against the inequality men experience when it comes to their treatment under law. I also speak out against male genital mutilation (circumcision). Why would you ASSUME that I don't?
But this thread is about the way women dress and how they're often treated within society. And that's what I'm addressing.
If you want to take it off on a tangent, go right ahead. I'll continue addressing the thread as I've been arguing in the past 40 or so pages.
Exactly.
Women are not paid less. This is a myth. Can you name 1 woman that you know personally(and I don't mean saw her at farmer's market once personally) is working the same job as a man but is getting paid less than a male that is doing the same job? You yourself have confirmed that this is not the case. Yet you claim that unequal pay is a serious inequality among women? That's what I meant to point out to you. Secondly, I didn't assume that you did not speak against inequalities against men, if you do then - good on you.
What feminists mean by pay inequality when they say "Women are paid less than Men" is the collective money women make is less than the collective money men make. The use of "pay inequality" in this context itself is highly misleading and ultimately gives the impression that women are being discriminated against - when they aren't. Furthermore it is illegal for a company to even exercise lesser pay to women - if you know any such company then sue the shit out of them - although I'm skeptical you will find any company like that.
It's like saying, since students with higher IQ's are the majority of students in high profile schools and colleges - Colleges and schools are creating a discrimination against students with lower IQ's - which isn't the case.
Anyway, lets go back to Women's Clothes. Don't want to further get off topic.
Many women are paid less for the same job and the same hours. Don't bullshit me.
Personally, yes I DO know women in that EXACT circumstance.
I myself spoke that this is not the case? BULLSHIT.
I said it was not the case for ME!
Is that hard to understand?
I, as a professional working woman, am NOT representative of working women as a whole.
