You have to resign to life of dependency to get a share, and then it gets taken away. Women need equal opportunities and pay. We shouldn't be expected to settle for 25-30% less any longer. There is going to be no sudden raise in men's salaries that will put a dent in the disparity, and it must end.
Hearing that our salaries dragged them down is bullshit- most men didn't give it a thought when we made shit pay as long as they were doing well- the world was fine with us being under compensated. Now it's only MRA idiots who long for those days, because they want women to be dependent.
Those that see any women's gains as hurting men are foolish- screwing over 3/4 of the population (women and children) with that wrongheaded idea. Deeply impoverished children is the result of such narrow thinking.
