Feminists all over America are celebrating “Equal Pay Day” on Tuesday because it symbolizes the day that women made the same amount as men from the work they did last year. Basically, their claim is that women need to do 15 months of work to make the same as a man’s annual salary.
Of course, conservative women know that’s a myth, it has been illegal to pay women less for the same work since 1963 and what feminists are really upset with is the earnings gap.
In her famous Slate article from 2013, author Hannah Rosin explained it best:
“The official Bureau of Labor Department statistics show that the median earnings of full-time female workers is 77 percent of the median earnings of full-time male workers. But that is very different than ’77 cents on the dollar for doing the same work as men.’ The latter gives the impression that a man and a woman standing next to each other doing the same job for the same number of hours get paid different salaries. That’s not at all the case. ‘Full time’ officially means 35 hours, but men work more hours than women. That’s the first problem: We could be comparing men working 40 hours to women working 35.”
Being enlightened, conservative women didn’t fall into the victimhood mentality and celebrated “Equal Pay Day” by mocking liberals for still believing in the myth.

Obvious q: If women are paid less than men for the same exact work and qualifications, why do greedy corporations hire men? #EqualPayDay

#EqualPayDay Don’t you nutjobs choose your own gender these days? Check off the “male” box on your job application. Problem solved.

An economics lesson for feminists: if women could be paid less than men, no one would hire men. DUH. #EqualPayDay

#EqualPayDay There’s no such thing as a #WageGap, it’s an earnings’ gap. You work less you, you’ll earn less, simple.
