Who Should (And Shouldn't) Be Leaders/Members of Social Movements

5. I'm not big on gender 'neutral'

The number one top line reason I identify as a feminist is equal pay. The ability to SUE your employer 10 years later if you find out you were screwed over back in the day.

The Paycheck Fairness Act is still out there - that was part TWO of Ledbetter.

Men make more than the women - there is no need for neutrality or equity.

It's about dollars and cents, the bottom line, and it's an issue that women must stand up for themselves about. If that means laughing at the offer and telling them you want 10K more - then you gotta gotta do that. I did - and I STILL had a man working UNDER me with less education making more.


He's not looking out for me.

Only Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii am looking out for me.
And other WOMEN get that - and if we come together as feminists - maybe our daughters and nieces and grand daughters will never have to deal with that shit.


Equal Pay is a feminist issue. If men want to support us in that - then look at YOUR employees and see how YOU have been a part of the very real problem. And even it up. Because sometime in the next 5 to 10 years we are going to get a paycheck fairness act - and you don't want to be one of those that gets fined . . .


Put up - or shut up.
