McCain Puts 14-yr-old Girl on the Spot, Disses Fair Pay Act
In case you missed it, Old man McCain said this:
“They need the education and training, particularly since more and more women are heads of their households, as much or more than anybody else,” McCain said.
Hmmmm, women need “training and education” in order to qualify for equal pay for equal work?
Who cares that women now make up 58% of college graduates and nearly half of the labor force?

The whole “Equal pay for equal work” complaint is rubbish. If women were really doing exactly the same work as men and getting paid significantly less, who would hire a man?

Uh let me answer that for you - another man. I don’t care what you think on this one Bill, I truly believe that most women are paid % less then men for the same work. The reason some people still don’t therefore hire women instead of men is b/c there are still employers (mostly in the private sector) who do not like/trust a woman for the job. That is, in part, because we (the younger women) can get pregnant. And that is a huge loss to employers, in terms of time and benefits. But I have seen study after study that shows that women’s salaries, for the same jobs, are almost always below men’s. There has to be some reason for that…… Unless you think ALL the studies are skewed?
