> GODDAMN THOSE LAZY WHORES FOR WANTING EQUAL PAY FOR THE SAME WORK.
From personal experience, a little anecdote:
When I was first hired as a junior developer, I was offered 40k. Me, along with a few women, and a few junior guys.
Now, is it sexism that:
a) I demanded hire pay and was in pay negotiation for 2 months before I was bumped to 60 because I made a compelling case, a long with a few of the guys?
b) That the women who were offered the same position signed off immediately on the agreement?
There is no "we pay women less for the same job" mantra anywhere that matters, and if there is, please point to a concrete example.
It's not my fault that I'm willing to risk a little and fight for higher pay and potential unemployment for doing so.
It is. You have less to lose than the average woman in the same spot.
We get fired, we get DEMOTED when asking for a raise. We have a lot less to negotiate with. So we stop when it's tolerable, because the stakes are different for us. We have to be the absolute top of our game to compete.
