How can women be money-conscious when they should be concentrating on babies?
Via Gegi:
WI senator Glenn Grothman on the repeal of 'equal pay' laws:
"You could argue that money is more important for men. I think a guy in their first job, maybe because they expect to be a breadwinner someday, may be a little more money-conscious. To attribute everything to a so-called bias in the workplace is just not true."
buh... gah... wha...?
I note that his hypothetical example starts with a lawyer earning $200k/year. I'm not sure why he didn't just cast Paris Hilton as the hypothetical wife and have done with it?
On the one hand, I hope these guys get a short sharp lesson on the fact that women aren't just 50% of the population, they're 50% of the voter base.
On the other, if regressive bullshit like this can fly, maybe they have a solution for that problem too?
