it was at a bar while I was outside smoking...this chick wearing glasses was like "loving ASSHOLES!" as she stormed away from a group of scruffy nerds in button downs. I approached the males to ask what happened and they told me she was trying to get them to sign some kind of petition. They continued high fiving each other and explaining to me, like I hadn't heard it before, that I should ignore arguments for equal pay legislation and paid maternity leave.

I had had my fill of the conversation once one of the guys laughingly said, "Hey, have you ever been in a relationship with a woman?!" and the other three all said "Pssh, NO!" and chortled as they sipped their stella artois and bud lite.

Payroll is zero sum so men who want to artificially reduce the pay gap are acting against their own interests. Of someone has to make 70 cents to their dollar that just makes their dollar that much more precious and valuable

I too think it's funny when people try to pass new laws that say the same thing as laws we've had on the books since the 70s.

I'm assuming this is America because you said bud lite and most other countries aren't stupid enough to drink that poo poo (except Canada)

I think the whole MRA \ SJW phenomenon is basically a sign that our society is becoming broken to the point that people are so socially retarded and loathe each other so much that they can't reproduce kind of like in Japan or that experiment with the rats

This might not be a bad thing because we have more than enough people and we don't need any more babies

You might be right. The other guys at least talked to the girl in the story. OP could only passively listen to her and not engage her at all.

Arent there already several laws on the books that demand equal pay? I don't think legislation is gonna do much unless you go to particularly extreme measures like making businesses pay all their employees identical wages.

Basically what i am saying is full communism now.

Not sure how you'd legislate away a statistic. I don't think those women have thought it through very well, which is probably why they aren't paid as much.

Maternity leave is a worthwhile goal but if we get it before fixing poo poo like our abysmal sick leave system i think it'd pretty representative of our modern trend of caring about pop issues over doing the most good for the most people.

The fact that we're worrying more about gay and trans rights instead of how we just used 12 months of Earth's resources in 8 months is even more alarming.

I guess at the end of the day I just don't trust people who are spending more of their time pushing for maternity leave than for universal sick leave (that would include maternity leave) to give two shits about poor people without access to sick leave after they got what they wanted. We only separated the two in the first place because the class privileged don't have to worry about sick leave because they already have it through their jobs.

How about a maternity leave system where you get less time off for each successive pregnancy? By the eight one you'd actually owe your employer more hours.
