There isn't a damn thing with women getting equal pay as a man but they should also be given equal work and expected to perform just as a man.

I agree. I always say that (some) women bitch and moan about being treated equal, yet they still expect the men to pick up the heavy shite for them. My degree is in a primarily male dominated field. When I was still working in that field, everyone started at the same salary, and everyone did the same work.

I really don't understand the premise of this war on women. I'm not oppressed, nor have I ever felt that way. In fact, I got a huge promotion yesterday (subtle brag ), completely based on performance. Generally, employers promote based on performance, not gender.

If a woman is working in construction, with the exception of VERY few, they aren't physically capable of doing the things that the men can do. But want equal pay? I just can't understand that line of thinking.

You can't whine about war on women, yet expect to be treated differently because you're a woman. And i have said this 100 times, and I'll say it again....women in the White House make an average of 13% less than the men, but you don't hear democrats mention that. Mr. President should lead by example and start with equal pay in his own house.

There is no war on women. In fact, affirmative action gives women an unfair advantage in some circumstances. You can't expect equality while expecting to be treated differently because you're a woman. It makes absolutely zero sense.

I really wish the democrats and feminists would move on to a different talking point. This one is exhausted.
