Its not even about the same job anymore, "equivalent jobs" is the new mantra

I read about how in the mid 90's here in Canada (or somewhere in Canada anyways) they made it so that construction workers and house cleaners were re-classed as "equivalent" and had to be paid the same, then construction workers started cleaning houses as it was a lot easier and paid the same, then supply and demand kicked in and construction workers got a paid more than before while house cleaners got paid less.

Result, they killed off a largely female career.

It's never been about the same job. Feminists have wanted women to be able to get jobs as the water boy and demand that they be paid the same as the QB the whole time.

Because they're fucking lazy, entitled, ignorant, and self involved.

Thats rights, now we can label jobs as "equivalent" even though one may be outside in the elements and the other may be in an air conditioned office. One job can require hard physical labor and the other may not require any force and very little work at all.

This is the next phase in the equal pay boondoggle. Equal pay should be for equal work, not for work that isnt equal but is found to be "equivalent."

feminism - because a woman in an office, should be paid the same as a man working on the roads...

It becomes really hard to justify being a victim when equality is already present. The only way to justify being a victim is by moving the goal posts to something different.

Crazy. Next they'll say being a stay at home mum is "equivalent" to being a CEO of a company...that would bankrupt the entire economy to settle that claim.
