Women Make Less Money Than Men Do

Really?

As we say in Boston, "No, shit, Sherlock." So, let's get this straight: We make less, and have to spend more: Tampons, makeup, wardrobe (more complicated than men's), cooter-related doctor appointments, dry cleaning and haircuts (cost more than men's), and on, and on, and friggin' on. The whole situation, for lack of a better phrase, really blows chunks. How can women compete in this race if we're not paid equally? Why I didn't settle for a banker/doctor/lawyer dude so I can quit working for pocket change and rat turds, I'll never, ever, know. Ahhh, to live the life of Stepford. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Bring it.
