I’m not sexist

saintfan · 09-11-2018, 08:40 PM

Saintfan (wisely) has no opinion one way or the other. As a former broadcaster I will only say she's as good as many I've heard, better than some, worse than others.

Saintfan says, "whatever plows your garden"

I didn't even know anything about this person or ever heard of her. Maybe I am lucky lol.

I'm familiar with her from college football games that she occasionally does. She does try WAY too hard to sound masculine. Her voice might be deep for a woman, but you can tell she puts emphasis on it. I don't like when male announcers fake their voices, it's so pretentious and irritating. It's maybe worse when a woman does it.

This is amusing listening to a bunch of guys bag on one of the first female game callers and then worry they will be called sexist.

"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.

Women don't make 80 cents to every dollar of a man... you're blatantly lying.

That said, if she sucks, she sucks....nothing is deserved because she is female.

You're wrlcome

6 charts show how much more men make than women

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

Over half a century after the US passed the Equal Pay Act, American women still face a substantial gender wage gap across the spectrum.

Today, on average, a woman earns 80.5 cents for every dollar a man earns, and women's median annual earnings are $10,086 less than men's, according to data from the US Census Bureau.

While progress has been made toward pay parity between the sexes, the Institute for Women's Policy Research estimates that it will not be reached until 2059.

The six charts below illustrate the significant pay discrepancies between men and women based on race, age, geographical location, and more.

The rest of the article show absolute support for the numbers. And it isn't just this one source. The same number can be found all over with little effort.

Unfortunately, it is the sad truth.

The statistics are correct as they are framed, but the framing is skewed. People are interpreting as women making 20% less for doing the same job. Which just isn't the case.

Bingo, it's a lie and shameful how the liars know and understand this, but still pretend their ignorance.

Actually it's a lie. It had been demonstrated over and over. They're taking all jobs and figuring the money earned over all fields and putting it into one pile. Women choose to work in fields that offer naturally lower compensation. When you take a male and female engineer with the same time in the field and working the same hours the compensation is near identical.

Being Intentionally dishonest about something is shameful.
