+35 The glass ceiling issue isn't an issue, the average income for jobs may be slightly less for women, but no one says you have to be average, amirite?

This is a nonsensical sentiment. Maths says someone has to be average, otherwise it isn't average. Women get paid less than a man doing the exact same job, AND are less likely to get high-paying jobs. It isn't women whining about having to work hard to get money - it's about having to work HARDER just to get the exact same amount of money as a man gets. That shouldn't be the case. Telling people it doesn't matter than they're discriminated against because it's their fault for X reason is never acceptable. Their shouldn't BE discrimination for them to have to overcome in the first place.

I understood the sentiment of the post, but all it really is saying is that 'it's okay for men to be average, but women have to go above and beyond for recognition, and that is okay.'

I hate when women bitch about being paid less. If you expect a man to buy everything for you he needs to be paid more.

If you have a girlfriend who expects you to pay for //everything//, then you need to get the fuck out of the relationship. I can't imagine what's going on in your mind right now. "I've had some golddigger girlfriends, hmmm, in order to solve the problem I think I'll make //ALL// women work harder for the same amount of money! Damn, I deserve myself a fucking medal".

Not all women should be paid less. But the sad truth is that they are. It's another sad truth that they expect jewelry, flowers, dinners, etc. I realize not all women are materialistic, but not all women are paid less either.

It could be just me, but I don't really see how those things relate. This post is about how much money men and women earn, not about how they spend it...

A medal and a bucket of cash for you, dear. I offer my condolences for your failing relationship and how it changed your outlook on the world infinitely. It is very tragic. (I hope that comment was directed at me because if not, oops).
