Obama the misogynist?


In his latest State of the Union Addresss, Obama made the old, debunked argument that wages in America aren't fair because mean old men pay poor little women less than men.

 “Last night, President Obama told Congress, ‘Women deserve equal pay for equal work,’ and then he headed back to the White House where women don’t receive equal pay.”

When this discrepancy is pointed out, someone inevitably starts backpedalling, saying that this is example of misogyny too.


Hold on to your fucking horses there, boyo. You can't claim that women are paid less than men, and then claim that women aren't paid less than men. Get your fucking argument straight, then we can have a conversation. Start your argument from the basis of women's choices, not some mythical sexist boogeyman that Snidley Whiplash employers out there are short changing women.
Get your fucking argument straight.

But let's address that comic's "point" as well.

We're fine with taking on that half of the domestic duties. Hell, it's easier than ever with modern conveniences. Imaginary sexism is easy to find. Go looking for some real sexism, like how women don't find domestic husbands as attractive.
