Feminist lobbies cheer the upcoming “paycheck fairness” bill despite the mountains of research showing that the mythical "wage gap" is in fact a "choice gap".

mountains of research showing that the mythical "wage gap" is in fact a "choice gap"

I've just always wondered how these two particular rallying points play out over here:

1) women earn less than men because they make choices that prioritize parenting and children.

2) women get custody more than men because the court system discriminates against fathers.

Do the same people believe both of these points, or are these two different communities? Because it seems to me that if you believe in Opinion #1, you should expect that mothers would have primary custody more often than fathers because of the choice gap.

Yet another reason to outsource. If it passes, there go a bunch of jobs overseas. This law will make everyone equal by making us all unemployed.

The NYtimes is known to be a sexist, chauvinistic boys club. There's a reason they're not making money anymore... this just proves it. Men are lazy and don't do half the work womyn do yet womyn aren't payed equally. I'd like to see men raise a child by himself while maintaining a professional career where they're not payed as much as his colleagues. Men don't get it. Get a clue you stupid, blubbering idiots. If it weren't for womyn you would be nowhere.

I hate nytimes because they make me login. Can someone summarize the issue or copy/paste it?
