Smelly Media: The Curse of Men Working to Earn Money

Ahh... The dreaded Wage Gap.

Government to Miss Equal Pay Target


The government will not meet its target for narrowing the pay gap between men and women, according to a new report. Women’s wages are currently around 80 percent of mens’, a gap that will probably narrow to 16 percent by 2015, one percent more than the target stipulates.
Are they comparing top level CEOs with top level CEOs, Brain Surgeons with Brain Surgeons, Lorry Drivers with Lorry Drivers,

Or are they just comparing the all over income of men to women?
Are they taking into account that in the western world it is a marketing truth that women control 80% of the spending decisions,

Are they taking into account that the man still takes the woman out, even in this empowered society,

Are they taking into account that the man still has to bring home money if the woman decides she will be a stay at home mother?

Of course not.

80 cents 80 cents

Are they taking into account that even if the woman has a shorter working life, she gets benefits a good deal longer than a man because of the life expectancy gap?


The difference gave rise to the phrase 'a woman's euro is 80 cents' to illustrate the gap between the genders.
He who controls language, controls the society.



Salonius believes that labour market organisations have a key role in the drive towards equal pay. Workplaces should take advantage of local pay deals and equal opportunities policies.
There is a phrase:
"If women cost a company 80 cents compared to the man's euro, for the same work, why aren't companies running after women?"


In addition, men should take a more active role in family life including taking more paternity leave, to reduce the burden long parental leaves place on women’s career development and salaries.
You know what, #¤%# you!!!
If men should be able to take more paternity leave, it should be so that a man can enjoy watching his children grow,
Not so that the woman can return to work.

I am fed up with this, "whatever the society does should be for the benefit of women"

Here are some more gaps, valid in Finland:

The workplace death gap : 99 men for  1 woman
Death at the war front gap: 50.000 men for a handful of women
Overtime work gap: Don't have the statistics, don't need
Life at retirement length gap: Women 32 men 25 years; women get 30% longer retirement benefits; 
Life expectancy gap: Men live 7 years shorter
The suicide gap: Men offing themselves at a rate 4 times of the ladies

Wage gap is just another scam pulled over our heads.

The Wage Gap is a myth, and it has been debunked time after time,

But as it is with these people facts do not matter, and to add to the insult, likes of Hanna Rosin, after complaining about the wage gap, are proudly announcing that in the big cities girls now earn 1.17 (or something like that) times of what their male peers are paid.

Is that not a wage gap?

Apparently not when women "earn" that.

    This makes me wanna puke. It isn't about men and children, but about women and women only.

  2. Sadly many men are oblivious to these attitudes that are actually used to make policies, and also are told to women who eat these words "hook, line, sinker" (if that is the right phrase)
