UK: (An Idiot): 'Women have a shelf life': Lily Allen, 32, is branded 'bonkers' after wading into the gender pay row by tweeting that female TV presenters should be paid more than men because their career is shorter

Men don’t opt to work until they die, this isn’t a privilege. Can I be paid more so I can retire when I’m 40?

So seniority among men is now a disadvantage?

Do these people not grasp the concept of getting paid according to the value you bring and think that employers pay according to what they assess employees' needs are?

Well, hell, I want more money because I won't live as long as a woman, on average.

Speaking of, aren't her 15 minutes up yet?

Women could have that if they accepted the risk and bartered strongly for high salaries

She has a point though. And in fact women get paid more than men for their looks already, as demonstrated in higher female vs male pay in models or porn stars for example.

She's completely within her rights (and all other women are too), to negotiate whatever salary they think they are entitled to...
