Apparently, you haven't come such a long way baby

King SFB is on his big equality tour.  The latest victims of inequality according to SFB are women.  SFB claims women work for 77 cents on every dollar a man makes doing the same work.  The biggest question I have in this false premise is:  Who is making the women work for less?   Forced labor is probably already some sort of crime and the scoundrels forcing women to work for 77 on the dollar ought to be rounded up fined and jailed starting with King SFB’s own White House staff.  If on the other hand, women negotiate their pay and agree to work for less in exchange for more flexible hours, well then, no harm no foul.  I’ll go one further, if woman agrees to work for less for any reason that ought to be between her and her employer.

It seems weird to me that the meme of the women’s movement for years and years has been anything a man can do a woman can do better, you’ve come a long way baby and all that BS.  Yet when the rubber meets the road, it turns out that the very people spreading the BS don’t believe it.  Sandy Fluke no doubt would claim to be an “independent woman” but can’t even buy her own birth control.  It turns out she’s sooooooo “independent” that she requires Uncle Sugar (AKA you and me) to cough up the dough for that “necessity.”  Women it turns haven’t come nearly as far as we thought, because it turns out King SFB won’t give them credit for being able to negotiate a salary or hourly wage.

While we’re on this subject consider this fact:  George Will reported last night that 92% of the all the occupational deaths in the US last year were men.  Holy crap!  King SFB should jump on that 92%.  That’s not equal, right?  92% is greater than 50% by, what, almost 42 percentage points, right.  So why aren’t gals and King SFB lining up with signs to bitch about women being killed on the job at a rate of less than 10 to 1 to men?

Seems to me, if equality is the goal, we should be killing off a whole lot more women in the work force.  I demand that, in order to reach equality on occupational hazards, on Dec 31^st of every year the government execute enough women to make occupational hazard statistics equal.  The IRS will put all women’s W-2s in a hopper.  Then names will be drawn by lottery and the “winners” will be executed in the name of equality.

And if occupational deaths are so staggeringly disproportionate, I suppose the number of men maimed and blinded on the job has be about as equally so.  I think we need to start lopping women’s arms, legs, fingers and toes off to even things out.  Oh yeah, we’ll need to start poking their eyes out as well.  Do your part today baby and offer up a finger or toe.  Hey, it’s a small price to pay for equality.  Men have died in a great numbers over the last 200 years defending this equality. 

Oh, and what about the statistical advantage women have on men in life expectancy?  Yeah, I know.  Men die first because they want to.   Hey SFB!  How do we even out that life expectancy curve?

What this is about is what it is always about with King SFB, identifying a way to pit one class of Americans against another then promising government intervention on one side’s behalf.  If women have truly “come a long” that proposition ought to be offensive to them.  But then I guess nothing says “strength” and “independence” to a modern day 2014 woman like King SFB giving her a handout and saying she is incapable of negotiating her own salary.
