In reply to the discussion: Look at all the men standing and clapping for equal pay for women! [View all]merrily
(45,251 posts)76. To be fair, I see only 3 of the women standing and more than 3 women sitting.
I am not sure what to make of that. Is it because our elected women already have equal pay and, even if they didn't, would make more than enough to feed their kids anyway?
Supposedly, when the pay scale is not determined by law, even other women who work for the Executive and for Congress are not making as much as the men. Again, though, it is a nice wage anyway. it is not making the difference between being able to buy your kid a toy once in a while and not being able to do that.
