THAT is how Repugs think- and the scariest part? The brain-washed, devoid-of-self-esteem women in that party who go along with the misogyny and smile for the cameras…ugh!

Rachel- good on ya for exposing those women-hating, women-fearing b*stards

If you broke it down by race, white women might even be higher than 77 cents. When I hear “average” it’s a given that it’s, you know, just an average across many demographics that can be further broken down. And that is noted in the piece.

Completely agree. They tend to find facts rather inconvenient, so they’ve developed a long and proud tradition of deflecting attention away from them. Truthiness at work!

Until that ‘Meet the Press’ show, it was pretty much accepted that women get paid less than men*. Then Castellanos made that comment and, like Rachel said, “we all accidentally learnt that Republicans don’t believe that women make less money than men do.” The news clips shown after that focus on which side is right-despite the fact that anyone with access to those statistics knew which side was right. Instead of discussing how to solve the problem, everyone started quibbling over whether the facts were factual. And it’s pretty hard to solve a problem when everyone’s busy discussing whether the problem is a problem, even though the problem is clearly a problem.

*I don’t live in the US, I’m just going by what was shown in that video.

This shit is real. It affects my work, my career, my pay, and that of millions of women. But I guess they wouldn’t believe me, because I possess ovaries and am too “passionate” about it to be considered a rational source of knowledge. Just like Sandra Fluke was too “slutty” to testify about the medical necessity of affordable contraception in Congress.
