hi everyone I hope you're all well so International women's day has come and gone
thank heavens and this year I managed to avoid it entirely didn't post on social media about
it didn't have to talk about it on television and most certainly didn't make a YouTube video
about it however why is there always a however an article has come to my attention in recent days
which while it did come out on Valentine's Day go figure is so full of misguided girl power that
might as well have been distributed in a pamphlet at an international women's day breakfast also
this video is sponsored by surfshark anyway the reason this article caught my eye and aggravated
me so is because it's the perfect conglomeration of factors as to why modern feminism is really in
the toilet at this point minus the trans activist cannibalism of the feminist movement of course but
I have made plenty of videos on that topic see my channel for details now this article is from
an Australian website called news.com.au which is for lack of a better description the left-wing
arm of the Murdoch media Empire it's certainly not the guardian or slate magazine but it absolutely
has its fair share of lefties writing for it well of these lefties is a feminist named Mary Madigan
who's bio onnews.com reads Mary's most passionate about pop culture fashion and whatever is making
women mad whether Mary has considered the fact that not all women think the same and therefore
would not be made mad by the same things I don't know but hey we'll let it slide it is after all
just a bio so this Valentine's Day article by Mary Madigan is entitled splitting the bill
on dates makes no sense there's a sad reason why Aussie women shouldn't be paying this bill and it
highlights a big problem that isn't going away but before I decode that rather cryptic title

title mean exactly after all Mary Madigan is a feminist and for the last you know several
decades the feminist stick has been all about how women shouldn't let men pay for them when on a
date because it's somehow enabling the so-called patriarchy to oppress them by being paternalistic
that and also the feminist notion that it somehow amounts to prostitution that is you give a guy
your company for the evening which may or may not lead to bumping uglies therefore he's paying for
your meal is apparently akin to pegging you for well bumping uglies both of which are very cynical
utterly aromantic perceptions of a gentleman shouting you a meal because hey he likes you but
hey it's feminism cynicism and being aromantic are kind of its thing anyway let's have a read
of this article and see what exactly the story is shall we Tuesday is Valentine's Day and if you're
a woman you shouldn't be splitting the bill yes I know I'm Stern but this is in the name of feminism
see my previous comment Valentine's Day means two things seeing frantic men at the Kohl's
flower section at 5 30 pm and going on dates it is practically National date day so what better day
to make a point about the fact women still haven't reached pay parity splitting the bill comes from a
position that both men and women are equal but we still aren't earning equally yeah we can all see
where this is going can't we modern dating usually involves trying to decode the use of emojis and
splitting the date bill after all no one wants to feel like they owe anyone anything but there's
one big problem with that line of thinking women aren't paid equally according to the government's
gender workplace equality agency wgea the national gender pay Gap in Australia sits at 14.1 percent
to break that down on average women bring home 263.90 Less weekly than men so men you have no
excuse you are earning more than enough to cover dinner out and there it is yep in the year of Our
Lord 2023 there are still still people talking about the gender pay Gap like it's a real thing
even though it is just about the most well debunked economic myth since communism at this
point the only reason that activists are still unironically complaining about the so-called
gender pay Gap is because they're either one Liars two stupid or three willfully ignorant I'm not
sure which one of these Mary Madigan may or may not be in my personal opinion I will let you guys
be the judge of that so for all the lying stupid willfully ignorant peanut brains in the back row
the gender pair Gap is not real in the sense that it is not a like-for-like comparison of men's and
women's full-time wages over the course of a year that is it does not compare the salaries
of men and women working in the same Industries for the same amount of hours instead the gender
pay gap or gender earnings Gap as it really should be termed is a basic comparison of the
average full-time earnings of men and women over a 12-month period it does not take into account
things like hours worked the kinds of industries that men and women tend to enter into here's a
free tip ladies mining pays better than nursing seniority and so on don't believe me have a listen
to this from Judith Judith Sloan contributing economics editor at the Australian newspaper
from last week we can explain the gender pay Gap and in fact the gender pay Gap is was released by
that rather Insidious sounding agency the workplace equality gender equality agency
um released some figures today and told us that it's a tad over 13 percent now
that's in terms of comparing full-time male workers wages with full-time women wages
um it's actually and you won't have read this the lowest ratio it's ever been so you
think they might have been saying well that's a good thing but the real point is this and uh
dare I said I don't like to think of things being settled because I don't think anything
in economic research or any kind of research is fully settled but we know what affects earnings
are things like industry occupation qualifications job tenure and once you start to model those
things and try and explain earnings basically the gender pay Gap disappears and what you're
left with is a kind of small discrepancy but aha the Mary Madigan to the world will cry see
currency I'll be the small one well Judith Sloan has an answer for that as well but here's the
thing there's a Harvard academic or Claudia called Golden and she has established that that final uh
discrepancy is basically because women uh tend to dislike jobs that have very long hours that
have unpre predictable hours and involve a lot of work travel and there is a sort of a decrement in
the in the labor market if you're not prepared to do those things so that basically is a story
it uh fits in well around the world there's been a similar study done in Sweden about this even
in Sweden with all those fabulous pro-women Arrangements long parental leave free child
care and the like there is still a gender pay Gap because women will try to drive a balance between
their family and their work responsibilities oh heaven forbid that women want you know a work life
balance Mary Madigan nevertheless she persisted so if you're a man taking a woman on a date tonight
and you want to keep things Fair consider that you are likely earning more than her and therefore it
should be your shout quite frankly going halves doesn't make much sense when men and women are
bringing home very different amounts of bacon why has it become normalized in our dating culture
that splitting the bill is empowering when it is really just disempowering women financially
I know women who want to pay their own way but paying your own way isn't always a smart idea
when the patriarchy is working very hard to keep you financially disadvantaged let's just consider
that bit again paying your own way isn't always a smart idea when the patriarchy is working very
hard to keep you financially disadvantaged that's like reverse feminism Mary is basically affirming
all of the negative stereotypes that trolls on manosphere forums ascribe to women seriously can
somebody please tell me what wave of feminism this is I am very confused the way we romance
has definitely changed but modern dating has been set up to completely ignore the fact that women
are still earning less than men so tonight on your Valentine's date if you're with a guy that wants
to split the bill point out that there's nothing equal about paying equally in these unfair times
you know I truly find all this gender pay Gap chat so completely disempowering of women I have always
felt that in addition to the lies stupidity or willful ignorance at least one of the reasons
feminists keep banging the drama on the gender pay Gap despite the reams of evidence that debunk
it is because they enjoy making other women feel bad about themselves why because if women don't
feel bad about themselves or the society they live in they won't become feminists it's as
simple as that it is a way of maintaining the rage under false pretenses so they can keep a
grip on young women and here's the kicker keep them voting for left-wing political
parties for left-wing feminists it's not about women it's never really been about women it's
just about politics even when it comes to the simple concept of who pays the dinner bell
