Today is Equal Pay Day. On average, a woman in the U.S. has to work until today — March 12th — to earn what a man was paid in the year prior. 🪙🙅🏽♀️💵
This #EqualPayDay, join us in bringing awareness to the gender wage gap, which is even wider for women of color.

Cyber bully billionaires. If you have the opportunity, bully them to their faces. Make them cry. Make them scared to leave their houses. Terrorize them.
Break out the guillotine if you’re feeling ambitious.
Thin privilege is better pay, particularly if you're a woman.
Thin women are paid more than fat women -- tens of thousands more by some estimates. This means thin women are valued as if they had more years of education and experience than fat women. To be at parity wages with thin women, fat women need to be much more educated (almost two years more education than thin women) and experienced (about three years more experience than thin women).
Researchers trying to determine why, have discovered that fat women are more likely to work in physical jobs and less likely to work in public-facing jobs than thin women. Public-facing jobs are generally better paid. Discrimination against fat women in public-facing jobs, like upper management and performance and waitressing and modeling and sales, could be the reason fat women on average make so much less than thinner women.
The most pay on average nets to relatively thinner women--about a 22 on the outmoded BMI scale.
Finally, take a gander at this absolutely devastating graph that shows a significant negative relationship between BMI/body fat and income for women from the St Louis Fed (2011):
This is thin privilege---massive, obvious, thin privilege.
Many boys would rather play video games than do homework but sure the problem is them submissively allowing girls to leap frog over them
Flounder at work? Studies show that men and women start off roughly equal. It’s when women start going on maternity leave that men and able to leap frog over women. And by retirement on average men have much Monroe money than women.
The Wage Gap Between College and High School Graduates in Each State

Seriously F*** playboy, but this was funny and weirdly wholesome (besides the wage gap ofc)
For those that can’t read the photo clearly; it says:
After years of regular meetings at a local bar, one of a trio of friends stunned his companions by announcing that he was really a woman trapped in a man's body and had finally decided to have a sex-change operation.
Months later, she reappeared at the old haunt and greeted her friends. Both men congratulated her on her appearance and began questioning her about the most painful aspect of the grueling operation.
"What was worse than that?"
"Lopping of your dick must have been the worst part," one said, wincing.
"Ummm," she pondered. "No, not really."
"Cutting off your balls, then," decided the other.
"No," she said, "That was bad, but not the worst."
