The article gets all huffy about how that’s an insult to women, but then quotes a Wash Post article admitting that it’s true, and proven, and even acknowledged by women authors who urge women to negotiate better:
It goes on to say that this is clearly not the ONLY reason for the pay gap though.
This is how the GOP is addressing its “party of old white men” image problem.
Which brings us directly to:
That was good. Mine unfortunately stands out to me almost fifty years later. The good ones I never seem to remember that well.

Well “better than rape comments” is setting the bar kinda low … but I guess it’s the new Republican standard.
You did. Um, probably. I don’t have any specific or even vague memories, but we all say stupid shit.
In the late 1970s (which, though some of you might not realize this, was very far removed from the Jim Crow era), I had to figure out how to label a paper recycle bins in the Dark Ages when they wanted to separate white and colored paper.
It took three people, over an hour, and a damned HR consult, because we were all so … uncomfortable with the concept of requiring the separation of white and colored, even though none of us had ever even used the term “colored” for racial construct.
I swear, this is why recycling companies agreed to accept mi … mixed paper.
They desegregated the paper, you mean?
“Bleached” “Dyed”
We went with “Copier Paper” and “Colors Only”.
Within two weeks, we switched to open bins and no labels; no one ever complained to HR, they just started when walking past. No one could stand walking past a color-based segregation.
Of paper.
In the Northeast.
In the 1970s.
For recycling.
So, maybe we might refuse to patronize a segregationalist establishment a quarter of a century later.
(I doubt it, but maybe)
OMG - I did the same thing! Rita Rudner was another one from that special I could (and often did) recite. “I just had a birthday. [applause] Thank you. I hate my birthday. I don’t plan to grow old gracefully; I plan to have face lifts 'til my ears meet.” Bwah!
They were on loan. I was single then; am married now. And as the late great Sam Kinison opined, “The one good thing about marriage is that THESE (grabs crotch) are connected.”
I leave you now to go meet commasense and his wife for dinner. Spiny and I are in Vegas for some leisure ahead of a conference for copy editors that commasense and I are going to word-geek out at later this week.
Enjoy the rest of the week’s Stupid Republican Ideas!
"Well, I’ll ask her . . . Honey, can I bring mine? Since the rest of the guys are bringing theirs, I thought, you know, I’d bring mine . . .
"She says no.
"She says no fuckin’ way.
"Yeah, she found the spare, too.
“But, look, do me a favor, wouldja? If you see me outside mowing the lawn or something, please KILL ME! I live in Hell!”

McConnell fundraiser: Wives have ‘obligation’ to sleep with husbands
:smack:
I have to admit to some curiosity about this guy’s views on divorce.
Wives should submit to sex whenever their husbands want it.
So says the radio guy McConnell uses to host his fundraisers.
And, btw:
