“Women” in general do not make .77 cents to a man’s dollar…
WHITE women make .77 cents to a WHTE man’s dollar.
Black and Latina women make .68 and .58 cents respectively to a white man’s dollar.

Y’all I’m just tired of these people spitting out nonsense so I’ll just respond right quick

“Bleep bloop bleep bloop race isn’t an issue because i’m a white feminist who doesn’t see color bleep bloop” is all I hear

First of all, not all women are created the same or equally. Because people??? Have different ethnicities??? Race and gender are two separate things??? Maybe I’m not understanding the point you are trying to make?? Also I don’t understand what you meant when you falsely stated that the statistic is a make-up of all women regardless of color, because that would even further my point that white women make more at a larger disparity then women of color because math and statistics? I mean I’d love to chat with you bout feminism but not sure what you are getting at…

Let me start by clarifying that I am not a feminist. Absolutely nowhere near.

Now let me explain something to you. The statistic you are seeing is literally from the yearly polls sent out to count how many people are living where, how many black, whites, asians, mexicans, etc we have, what your annual income is, etc.

These are sent out specifically for these statistics. 

HOWEVER, these papers fully disregard many, many important factors. I’m just going to give you an example.

I am a female, and one of my roommates is a male. We work at the exact same place, in the exact same position as EMT-P’s. The starting pay for us was 13.25 and hour. Scott has worked years longer than I have.

I have other things to do. I don’t need to work six days out of the week to survive, perhaps I’m in school, or have another job. So we’ll say I work about two twenty-four hour shifts in a week. 

Scott may require more. We’ll say Scott works five days a week. 

Obviously, Scott is going to end up with much, much better paychecks than I do. He worked more. He also worked here longer, and he’s gotten more pay raises than I have. Now Scott gets around 15.70 an hour, and I get around 14.20. 

Let me remind you, I am a white female, and Scott is a white male.

Does that make this a sexist issue? No. That’s fucking ridiculous.

Let me also remind you of that poll that goes around. Does it ask about your experience at work, would it have me explain what I just told you? No. It asks me how much I bank in at the end of the year. Period. It doesn’t take into account how many stay-at-home-moms or dads there are, how many people are making under the table money, etc.

Just what you bring in at the end of the year. You need to keep this in mind.

As far as the race goes, gender needs to be dropped right then and there, because those polls are also including illegals who shouldn’t be making money over here, and there is in fact a racial issue in payment still. Not nearly as big as you may believe, but there is. 

But, you also need to take into account that that the number you are looking at is heavily impacted by those who are unemployed/working illegally. 

LOOOOLL and this is where I say BYYYEEEE
