Happy 50th Anniversary, Equal Pay Act!


Today is the 50th anniversary of the Equal Pay Act. So, of course, as per usual, the major media/entertainment outlets are pummeling us with women and their vagina monologues about equality. Well ladies, once again, you've inspired a REAL MAN to share his thoughts. Here goes:

Women are currently outnumbering men by 40% in graduating from college. 1 in 4 women earns more than her husband does. We have women CEOs, business owners, political officials, judges, we've had two in a row as Secretary of State, and we could have a woman president in 2016. That's progress. You should be proud.

However, when you start the day today by complaining that you only earn $0.77 for ever $1.00 I do, when theoretically doing the same exact job I do, that's where the buck stops (so to speak). In the same breath you ask for an additional day off per month to deal with menstruating, and you also expect in the next breath to have your job waiting patiently for you after you take a year off for maternity leave. THAT, girls, is not equality, that's special privileges and special treatment. When you ask for these things, you are PROVING to men that you are not willing to work as hard as we are for the same money, so if you're getting less, it's because you deserve it.

It's no different than expecting to be wined and dined and put on a pedestal just for the privilege of entering into your vagina. You can't have it all, girls. You've already got all the progress I mentioned before, you can have a brilliant career with the high-profile position of influence and good pay, the corner office, etc...but as soon as you leave work, you need to be “taken care of” by men. Again, that's unfair, and it does not promote the equality you are squawking about so much today.

Some of us are real men. We are not the Gyno-Crats you have elected to office, or the suitor who is afraid he won't get to have sex with you, with one hand on his dick and the other on his wallet, we are not the pussy hipsters who will subsidize your $30,000 IVF treatment with our tax dollars. We are REAL MEN, and real men treat women like equals and PEERS when you deserve it, when you earn it, and when we get treated with the proper reciprocity. This goes for both professional and personal circumstances.
