A few days ago someone sent me a link to an article at the Guardian called "A radical fix to the world's wage gap: why not just pay women more – and pay men less?" by the writer Jessica Valenti. And here's a paragraph from her article: "what if the boldest solution for the wage gap isn’t about raising women’s salaries at all? What if we paid men less? Over the weekend, former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson – fired in part, she says, over conversations about pay disparity – told a reporter that the best way for newsroom leaders with a limited budget to fix salary inequalities is to “bring the guys down to give a little more to the girls”. “I did that at The Times. No one’s happy to get a cut, but too bad.” Too bad indeed! The Washington Post’s masthead is about to become all-male. The US wage gap has barely moved in a decade. Politicians here are deriding new equal pay laws in midterm campaign ads, and the UK and elsewhere aren’t faring much better even when they do have such laws. Given the sad status of women and work lately, it may be that a little “I don’t fucking care if you like it” is exactly what gender equality needs right now. Some men’s antipathy toward feminism comes from a fear that leveling the playing field will mean taking away from men’s existing power. And for a long time, feminists have been sensitive to that concern, insisting that equality is not a
zero-sum game – that there’s enough money, jobs and justice to go around for everyone." That chunk of Jessica Valenti's article should strike terror and fear into the hearts and minds of men working in corporations and government jobs across all western nations. And with Hilary Clinton most likely to be elected as the President of the United States I fear the country may start implementing such insane measures to buy votes and fight a wage gap that was dis-proven a long time ago. How is the government supposed to enforce this law outside of corporate environments and government jobs? If I do a job as a contractor does my client have the right to lower the rate he or she pays me based on the original price I quoted them because I'm a man. And if so then I'll just quote a higher price and to get paid my usual rate.
