Reality and the Gender Pay Gap
Anyone who believe the over-simplified argument that women in equal jobs are underpaid as compared to men, Needs to learn a little about statistics.

ReplyDeleteSubterfuge is the name of the con-artist's game. Maliciously sabotage and bury important details then call it "a dead horse". As a victim of such deceptive behavior, my level of trust in any elected [or pseudo-elected] representative body has obviously dropped to an all time low.
