Employers should re-think how they pay workers. I can understand paying men more than females, seeing men are typically the breadwinners of a family, but employers should think about the lives of their workers. For example if one of the workers is a single mother of 3 kids, they should pay her the same as a male. And if a male worker has a wife who makes a 6 figure income, he can take a cut, a... amirite?

No, I don't care if you have 600 kids and your co-worker has 0. If you are doing the EXACT SAME JOB as someone else, you should be getting paid EXACTLY the same as the other person, regardless of your personal situation.

Maybe when they were more financially stable when they had those kids. And even if they shouldn't have had them, what do you expect them to do about it? "Sorry kids, it was stupid of me to have you so you all have to get back into the womb." Even if the parent made a stupid choice, it doesn't mean that their children should suffer for it. I'm not saying that I agree with the post, but the comment Rainbow35 made above the one I'm replying to certainly has merit.

If you're working a job where you can't afford to raise five children, then you shouldn't have five children. If that were the case, people would have babies just to make money, it's bullshit. I know that's what would happen because I've SEEN it happen. In northern communities and reserves welfare increases with the number of children. There are families of 12 children with an alcoholic mother who just keeps having babies because she gets more money. It's bullshit.

People get paid to do a job, they should be paid equally for each job.

People should be paid depending on what they EARN, not on what genital organ they have or what their life is like. The end.

Yes, if you add up the incomes of a bunch of men and compare the average to that of a bunch of women's incomes. But that's because in many families, men are still the ones bringing in the primary income. Women are less likely to hold jobs with high paying saleries. That's VERY different from the idea that women in general are paid less because of their sex.

Ignoring the bit about men and women, it's still unfair to adjust a person's wages according to their personal lives. It's the employee's job to try and find a job they like with a salary that will support their life style, not the employer's job to hand out salaries to match whatever life styles the employees wants.

Actually, there are more differences between races than sexes. You can tell by the bones of a person what race they are, just the same as you can what gender they are. Also, there are certain diseases that are more likely within different races, different races that are statistically more physically stronger, etc. That's not to say that one is better than any other, but it's to say that sexism is JUST AS BAD as racism, and that there ARE definite differences between races, the same as gender.

"there are more differences between races than sexes." Well first of all that's just not true.

Okay, I am not a scientist, but I am pretty sure that even the differences in bone structure is much greater between men and women. For example you can tell from the size of the hips on a skeleton whether it's a man or a woman. It is much harder to deduct the race of the skeleton (if even possible). And even if I am wrong on that account, there are still more differences between genders. End of story. I'm sorry, but your position on this is quite ludicrous.

While I agree that a man and woman should get the same pay for the same job, I don't think anyone should get paid more or less because of their situation. . .
And 'if a male worker has a wife who makes a 6 figure income, he can take a cut'. Wth? If a male works hard, why should he have to take a pay cut if his wife makes a lot of money? That makes no sense.

When I first read this I honestly thought it was a troll. Are you serious? Okay, lets PRETEND, I had gone through 8 years of university to become a doctor, spending a lot of time and money. Because of all that hard work, and good decision-making, I know have a good life. So OP, are you saying I should make the same amount of money as a single mother working at a gas station? It would ruin the point of working your way through school, trying to get a good job, make good choices, instead of thinking "Oh, I don't need to try, I can do whatever I want, I'll still get paid the same" It's just doesn't make sense to me.

That's a good point, but (not trying to sound cheesy here :P ) life has it's problems, and you have to find a way thruogh them. You can't just expect to get more money if you're having problems. and still the cons strongly over power the pros.

Call it what you want, it's still more incentive for people to not try at their jobs because if their lives suck, hey! They'll just get money anyway! Why not give every hobo on the street money for doing nothing, because they're on the street, and that sucks. Even if they're just too lazy to get a job (speaking not of abused runaways or ill/mentally ill people), so that's where they ended up.

it wouldnt work even if i thought it was a good idea it would not work in the real world, employers dont want to pay good workers less and okay workers more just cause they are single etc. and like i said before it would be incentive not to hire them if you have to pay them more and therefore it would be more difficult to even find a job or get any money

Okay, I agree with you're side and everyone else who has been saying that this idea isn't actually as fair as it seems, but I think we all need to stop making the point that "a single mom chose to have children". Yes, she may have made that choice (may, because let's face it, sometimes a child is an accidental pregencey), but she didn't CHOOSE to be a single mom. That's a completely different situation that may have resulted after having a child. She can't base her choices on a future she can't see. Basically, I don't think that's a valid point to use. But other than that, I'm in total agreement. This payment idea isn't fair nor does it make much sense.

Nope. if they need help, they can't have the big bosses helping them out. at this point they are (hopefully..) adults, and they need to realize life isn't a game where they can look up cheats or download an extra life if something goes wrong. they need to learn how to get themselves out of the shit they got themselves into.

But if you have the mindset of the woman getting paid the same as the man because of doing the EXACT same job. Then I believe farmers should get paid waay more than pop stars seeing as they work for more than 12 hours a day in the sun with an exhausting job.
The world is simply unfair that way.

Oh perfect, now those people that have a million kids running around (most of which shouldn't have had them since they can't afford them in the first place) can make more money than people with an education. I might as well drop out of collge and get knocked up instead

People are calling this post socialism and communism, which is it, or is it both? Also, what's wrong with socialism and what's wrong with communism? And what's so good about capitalism? (Not rhetorical questions, I'm actually wondering)

Also people keep saying that OP must be like 12, so does that mean the general idea of the post would make sense to people that age? :/

i could be wrong, but isn't that like if someone was on trial for say theft, and you decided to not punish them as harshly as you would another because they have kids?
personal life does not come into play; that just creates more prejudice. i don't care if it would be better for the families, if we started doing that then next thing we'll start making shit cheaper for people from broken homes and giving them more privileges than others.
people should get paid for their ability to do the job right. end of story.

socialist.

Why don't you pay more money to the people who do the job better?

Where's the no freaking way button when you need it?!

It's not their job to help out charity cases, its their job to pay people to do their job! How would you like it if every day you come in early, work overtime and during the holidays only to find out someone who never does their job properly and calls off the majority of the time is getting paid more than you just bc she has a kid. Where's the morality in that?

If you want extra money for having a kid you already have plenty of government options to get some.

You are a dumbf*ck. And a communist. And a feminist. We livin in a capitalist socioty. You get paid based on the product output from your input. Meaning how well you do your job. Not your life situations. If you don't like it, leave America.
And women get paid less for the risks of maternaty leaves and other things that employers have to take acount for.
So stop complaining. You are wrong.

I've realized that this website isn't just state your opinion, and others agree/disagree. It's more like a various debates about random things. So: I think the poster was absolutely right.
