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.

Hi Matt,
ReplyDeleteI saw you in the ABG show here in Chicago recently and thought you guys were incredible. As I normally do with performers I like, I googled you guys to see what other things you've been in, etc. Also hoping to maybe see you guys again here in Chicago sometime. Unfortunately, this blog post came up. :( Honestly, when I read this post I was very disappointed. You seemed so cool on stage and with the crowd. It really makes you sound anti-female. Sorry but just being honest. Thought you'd want to know. I'm a writer (who performs live in Chicago) and I also own a marketing company. So I deal with people alot. And I know if I wrote something that came across in a negative way, viewable by the public, I would want to know. I would have contacted you directly but wasn't sure how to so that's why I'm posting here (sorry). Anyway, as a woman, I'm hoping you just had a bad day and were dealing with one terrible woman who set you off. I personally have never taken a day off for 'female' reasons nor have any other professional women I know. I too believe that men and women should be treated as equals. And women shouldn't expect men to 'take care of them' (or vice versa). But again, the tone of this comes across really scathing towards women. Just thought you would want to know. Best, JE
