"Some things should be left to tradition" says it all. Guess what? Traditionally, women couldn't own property in the United States. Women still make only $.80 for every $1 a man earns. That means that a woman will have to work a decade longer to earn as much as a man. Fun fact: A 1600s law in Massachusetts proscribed that a woman suffer the same punishment as a witch if they "tempted" man into marriage by wearing high-heeled shoes. |

Here's another thing for you to chew on. What women make as compared to men is ON AVERAGE. There are plenty of women who make more than most men. But because most women aren't like you, and they believe in traditional family values, and that a mother should be home with her children, a lot of women don't really pursue a career, and thus they make less money on average. It has nothing to do with prejudice. Women have opportunities now that they never dreamed of a hundred years ago. But, just like the rest of the phony social justice movements, people would rather cling to the past so that they can have something to feel sorry for themselves about. |

Actually, WHODATINCA is absolutely correct. The article above from 8/27/2018 in the respectable BusinessInsider.com states the following:
Unfortunately, it is the sad truth. |

That said, I really don't have any issue with any play-by-play or color announcer. To me they are nothing more than background noise sharing information while I am watching the game. |

Re: I知 not sexist
Bingo, it's a lie and shameful how the liars know and understand this, but still pretend their ignorance.
