I'm just going to leave this here:

LINK

quote:

After a large pizza with friends, the bill comes. Everyone throws in a few bucks to equally split it.
But is that really equal, considering the average woman makes 78% of a man's earnings? If you're a woman of color, the wage gap is even wider: Black women make 64%, and Hispanic women make just 54%.

A new half-joking app, called EquiTable, divides restaurant bills with gender and racial income inequality in mind.

"If I'm working the same job and making less, I started to think, 'Could there be another way of addressing the wage gap?'" Luna Malbroux, a comic and the app's founder, tells Tech Insider.

Keep scrolling to check out the app, which will be available in the iTunes App Store this month.


Christ.

I wouldn't be friends with people like that, so by default I also wouldn't dine with people like that.

As long as the pizza is divided accordingly, then Im down with this idea. Im not paying more just so others get the same share as me. FUK that idea.

Women usually work lower paying job types than men. Such as teachers, secretaries, clerical type stuff.

Black and Hispanic women usually have no education and work jobs that pay even less.

Female to male wage gap is the biggest lie ever perpetrated in our society.

Let's be honest with ourselves here. They say "half-joking" but their intent is 100% dead serious.

Women are just as qualified and work for less. Why would I not want to hire them?

Unless my first statement isn't true.

I can tell you that back. In the day during my service industry jobs, black women are the single worst tippers on the face of the earth.

I'm talking $100 check and tip $2. While most everyone else tipped normal

So if I go to dinner with Kobe, I should still have to pay b/c of my white privilege? GTFO!

Completely and utterly false, and thoroughly debunked. I can't believe they are still trotting out this bold faced lie.

I get the app is a joke, but the 78% pisses me off.
