LIE: Women Earn $0.75 for each $1.00 a Man Earns for doing the SAME WORK

A recent study conducted of CEO's (both men and women), showed that Women CEO's earned slightly more than Men CEO's.

TRUTH:
The study came from a "snapshot" of all full-time employed people. It does not take into account experience, education, occupation, or hours worked each week - to name a few. When more accurate studies are done by economists, the "wage gap" vanishes.

Here is some reading material to back that up:

Women's Figures: An Illustrated Guide to the Economic Progress of Women in America, by Diana Furchtgott-Roth and Christine Stolba, published by the Independent Women's Forum and the American Enterprise Institute, Washington, D.C. 2000.


COMMON SENSE WILL PREVAIL
If it were true that women earn less for doing the same work, corporations would hire only women. This is true for several reasons:

They would cut their employee costs by 25%
They would be fulfilling their affirmative action quota
Many corporations are RUN by women these days - not MEN - the sexist argument, "It's a Man's World" is NO LONGER VALID
Corporations are ruthless business machines. They do not care about gender, only hiring the best people, and paying them as little as possible
Based on the reasons above, it is obvious that the statement, "Women Earn Less For Doing the Same Work" is an incorrect one.

BRAINWASHING:
Two political candidates in the 2008 Presidential Election, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, both used this LIE to further their campaign. That is, they promised to voters to rectify the so-called "wage-gap".

The fact that this statement of theirs was taken so seriously, demonstrates how many people in the American population believe this LIE - eventhough common sense prevails over it (as well as credible studies).

Ask yourself: How would you feel if you were told over and over again that you would get paid less than somebody of a different race - simply because of they way our society is set up?

The result of this lie is more hatred and distrust installed in women, aimed at men.
