After signing a slew of Executive Orders, President Barack Obama has added his John Hancock to the first bona fide collaborative effort with Congress. The law, The Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, seeks to right the injustice in the case of Lilly Ledbetter, who received a lesser salary than her male counterparts simply because of her gender.

Someone should take up a collection for this woman. Maybe we can get a few Supreme Court judges to kick in.

Let this be a warning to women. Don't trust anything made out of rubber, if it's made by Goodyear. You'll get screwed every time.

Great news!
I never, ever understood why women are paid less than men for doing the same job.

So far, I haven't felt at all disappointed my his actions!

I don't either since most of the men I know, personally, don't do half the work women do, yet they get paid much more than we do. It has always bothered me...

Work Women Do
clean house
laundry
having and raising babies
having full time jobs
cooking

Work Men Do
have full time jobs
sit on their ass when they get home
watch TV
expect to be waited on hand and foot.

This was my experience in a straight relationship. It was how my dad treated my mom. I know gay/lesbian relationships are different,and I feel it is much more egalitarian. She still makes more than I do, but doesn't feel that because of that fact that she has the right to hold it over my head and expect special treatment.
