Suing for equal pay when playing a less in-demand instrument than her male counterpart.

Other factors to consider:

Tenure on the orchestra

Size of section for which they are principal

Relative numbers of players for each instrument

The principal is a much higher rank.

So she will probably lose. And employers get another warning; women are a high risk. And all the feminist lies about bias against women slowly start to become true. Hey, it's just like real magic!

I'm so damn sick of this shit.

You look at the number of women that graduate from conservatories and then you look at the number of women in the top leadership positions in orchestras, and it’s not 50-50 still. Women need to see equality, and they need to see fairness in order to believe that that’s possible.

Unless it's grunt work like garbage collection, plumbers, etc. Then they don't give two fucks about equality.

Edit: Also many of these same women (not all, mind you) will tell you that teachers/day care workers are mostly women because women are better at it, but they'll never admit that men are better than women at some things.

Leadership isn't all roses and not everyone can or wants to do it. Maybe men are better suited for leadership positions? I'm not saying they definitely are (and even if they are, there will be exceptions and many amazing female leaders), but to not even consider that as a possibility? It's asinine.

Typical fucking entitled brat

Lol this is like the old stupid argument that hairdressers should be paid the same as auto mechanics because they're "equivalent"

Is there pay parity between all women first of all, will they fight for it?

They are coming for music now too.
