I hope you've all worn your hazmat suits because once you click the link below you are going to enter a place where Beyonce is a figure of female emancipation and the belief that women are paid less than men is still going strong.

You do know that the wage gap still exists do you?

The wage gap has been debunked over decades by economists. Even Dr. Christina Hoff Sommers, one of the few credible feminists says it's completely misleading. If someone is paid less for the same work, that's a violation under the Equal Pay Act of 1963. If one feels they are suffering under this supposed "wage gap" why not call the department of labor? Plus, if it were really true that women were paid less than men for the exact same work, wouldn't employers fire almost all of the men and hire women to enjoy most of the profit? One of my first jobs was working in AT&T but it wasn't the corporate store. All employees were paid off the books except the other three employees got around the same while my Boss only paid me $200 a week for 45 hours (I was hired months after them). Was it discrimination? No. He was doing shady business practices to get more profit for himself. He needed another worker to fill in but at the same time, he wanted to exploit the fact that I was fresh and new in the working field.
