I linked this article instead of the more viewed HuffPo article primarily because they somehow believe that this is applaudable, despite being factually incorrect on every front.

Aye trudeau, tabarnac, how is poverty sexist?!

[tyven]

Hey what's with the whole tabarnac thing?

[NynJa]

Its a french swear word with no actual translation
"Aye tabarnac" is like "aw fuck" and fuck has millions (and millions) of connotations.

If u watch mattix 3 and about halfway though the french guy is swearing in french, hes just putting together a bunch of swear words together that mean nothing but still sound good.

[Psion]

Doesn't seem confusing to me. poverty hits women more than men, and even in the US women get paid less on average then men even in an equal position. in that sense, it is sexist, because it's being influenced by sexism.

3 syllables for a swear seems like a lot of work. I always thought the beauty of swears was their brevity. Oh well I will start using it, thx.

Really? You're gonna come in this thread and try that tired, completely debunked nonsense about the "wage gap" as proof of sexism?

[archibaldcrane]

Sexism doesn't exist, just ask Blubbartron.

The most definitive study on this concluded that the gap does exist, but that there are factors other than sexism that account for a majority of it. However that does not mean sexism, or even wage discrimination, are non-existent.

On a broader level, it's widely accepted that there is an intersectionality between victims of oppression. Not just in the sense that a gay black woman experiences more types of discrimination because three different types of bigots will hate her, but because most discrimination is fluid.

For example, most homophobes are in a sense acting out on sexism -- the prejudice against gays stems from how they don't conform to how men and women "should" be.

No, but it is illegal.
Honestly, any woman who's getting cheated out of a properly salary just because she's a woman should lawyer the fuck up and make bank by suing her employer into the ground.

Sure but sometimes you don't know if you are making less. That was the whole point of the Ledbetter law that I'm sure people like Blubb think was just SJW feminist pandering.

Then also the Dukes case has made it much harder to pursue class actions against employers for this.

Also need to understand that word travels, when certain companies hear you're willing to sue them due to your wages being lower, they're flat out just not going to hire you, it's that simple.

It sucks for women in that position though, they want to be paid equally but are unable to force the issue for fear of being terminated for "unrelated" reasons or blackballed because the ceo tells all his corporate buddies about how you love to rock the boat, there really needs to be a better way.

Risk management is one of my favorite things.

I have a few headhunter buddies and they will be completely honest with people about stuff like this. Are you litigious? Do you have a history of saying inflammatory shit on social media? You are not getting the job. Too many qualified candidates out there that aren't idiots with their public presence.

[Vandalhart]

It's almost as if people shouldn't be running their mouths in a public sphere thinking there aren't going to be any consequences.

Nah, that's censorship bro.

alternatively, almost as if people need some sort of organization which can negotiate on their behalf, using their numbers and unity to offset the imbalance of power between employers and workers.
