The “disruption” should be should be a nationwide program to build public housing with a budget the size of the DoD. And the feds should control it, because federalism is stupid. Oh well, guess we have to wait another 20 years or so.

Agreed. This kind of thing just goes to show how little economic interests motivated voting behavior. Voters would rather shoot themselves in the wallet than let ladies/minorities get anywhere close to parity. Even when a dude’s own economy would improve if his missus got paid more, nope. Because it’s way more…

And I’m sure you were a party to their discussions regarding their marriage. And I get your oh-so-clever, subtly racist username, too. Sit down.

If they were able to do so behind the scenes without this, then this is hardly going to help them. Being able to not be fined obviously didn’t undermine their ability to consolidate and/or hold power.

Not saying they don’t.

If you haven’t been paying attention to the rhetoric or hypocrisy for the last 30 years, small government means shit when its about them controlling it and creating bills that are the irony of how they really want to be put into law.

I suspect it is similar to the cops and their resistance to things like body cams and people filming them. For decades they could control their image in the media since they had editorial control. Their predecessors didn’t have to deal with it, they don’t want to either, so rather than be better people, they went for…

They seem to have done pretty well in the last 2 elections. So I would say that they don’t really need it to maintain power.

Exactly. Or maybe it just isn’t a deal breaker for her. I mean, it is for me. But it simply isn’t for a lot of other women. And that’s fine. We all have our lines in the sand. Cheating isn’t her- that’s her business.

How else will they keep power? They can’t full all of the people all of the time.

It is frightening how much the Republicans want to end the transparency of the democratic process.

51% of those who voted. Not 51% of the white female pop. at least be accurate.

Men with dependents, married or not, do get treated better than their female colleagues. I’m a woman without kids by choice and get screwed over at work in favor of my divorced male single father colleague. He’s barely capable of doing his job in a manner that allows him to keep it, but he gets the perks that should…

In one of the many (many, many, many) articles following the election explaining why the Democratic party has to start ignoring “fringe” groups — women and people of color —and focus 100% on the only demographic that matters — white men, the (female) author very earnestly explained that it is grossly unfair and…

I think the reverse is also true: men won’t take low wage jobs. There is no reason men cannot be nurses aids, daycare teachers, and retail clerks. They refuse to do so because such wages are beneath them.

Good for her and fuck the unexamined sense of entitlement that men get from this bullshit. Also fuck the double standard at home that leaves women doing every fucking thing for everyone.

Obviously the woman didn’t try hard enough to be attractive as she got older. Sad!

My god. Yeah and what about the women and children they abandon with no means because their dick wants to go into a younger woman.

I recall that when my sister had a baby, her husband made a remark that he was suddenly treated better by his employers (all male, white finance firm)—more responsibilities and status in the office—and chalked it up to because he was a new father. He said this to me with no introspection and didn’t question what…

In hiring at any level, I assume there is still a lingering sensibility that a job to a man represents the livelihood of his family. Whereas a job to a woman is an unholy compromise resulting from her failure to perform as a woman. Therefore a man’s job deserves more pay, more benefits, and he deserves it more than…
