People are starting to clue in on the wage gap!

I came across this article just recently.
It tries to spread the same old lies about the pay gap, no surprise there.
What is surprising, however, is the comments on the article. It seems that people are tired of listening to these lies, and common sense is taking over.

you can thank hillary
With Hillary's feminist support, and cherry picked statistics, the wage gap has been exposed. Many feminists had thought, with Hillary's support, the myth would have become a political gain. Not so fast Hillary! Most intelligent people see beyond the wage gap myth. With all your poltical bullshit, I applaud you. Your affiliation with NOW has crippled the biggest economic farce!
Enjoy!

Tired of AAUW's Propaganda
Every freakin' month I get another snailmail appeal from AAUW to join them and send them money!
I think it's because I was foolish enough to investigate their website, and now that unbiquitous cookie is chapping my ass.
The American Association of University Women is a ho' house of vileness and manipulation, the kind of used-up retired "scholarly" broads that Kim Gandy at N.O.W. pimps out on streetcorners just so they can feel relevant to the sisterhood.
I have told them repeatedly that I want OFF their mailing list, to no avail.
Smarmy cunning linguists, and persistent too, every bull dyke one of 'em.
Vermin.
Funny too! They take themselves seriously...
No stay on
every dollar spent trying to pry cash out of you is one less that can be spent on their misandric tripe (no disrespect to tripe intended) masquerading as research.
Plus...
It allows you to keep an eye on what they're up to...
She's posted a follow up.
Here it is..
Hasn't learned a thing unfortunately....
Evidently a lot of men have strong opinions on this issue and they are letting them rip. So, here's my response.
Cherry-pick much? Pull up your boots guys - it's getting deeper.
In order to support her wildly inaccurate and unsupportable claims about a sexist study by a sexist lobbying group (which was the POINT of her critics), she's taken an interesting approach.
Does she go out and obtain audit data on what men and women in specific occupations and organizations are being paid? Does she consult an unbiased expert for an opinion? Does she even question the inherent bias of AAUW or NAFE?
No. Deep in the lost world on the other side of the looking glass where feminist victimology reigns, everything is due to the patriarchal conspiracy and the inherent evil of men (wait, I thought that feminists rejected biological determinism - I guess they can't keep their bullshit straight, either).
Instead, she takes another sexist study by another sexist lobbying group and then cites a government source which is talking only in the most general terms about a comparison between apples and oranges, and then tries to top off the flaming house of cards with anecdotal evidence from a single blogger rambling about how unfair the world is to poor, poor women.
This woman doesn't have a factual leg to stand on.
Men don't dispute that women earn less than men. Nobody does. What she disputes is that there's any other possible cause for it aside from discrimination by men.
Feminists don't believe in "responsibility" for women. Only choices. I suppose it would be unrealistic to expect them to accept any responsibility for their choices now.
Still, I love it when manhaters drown in their own bullshit while trying to defend their right to have no responsibilities whatsoever, all while claiming to be better-than-equal. They make fools of themselves far more effectively than we ever could. But I'm sure they're far too busy crying victim and blaming men to notice.
Owned
She gets owned in the comments yet again. Someone said "There were male and female names in the negative comments." As usual, if somebody doesn't agree, it's a man and that man is a sexist asshole. Did it even cross her mind that not all women are blind followers of the feminist movement?
Did it cross her mind?

Such women are all "complicit in their oppression", remember?
Feminism is a cult. Women's studies is the indoctrination and brainwashing phase.
This woman is delusional, just like every other empty-headed and brainwashed cultist. She needs treatment, not a column. For that reason alone I can't be angry with her despite her obvious stupidity and bias.
