Another GAO report is out saying women earn 80 cents on a man’s dollar. Michigan Dem. John Dingell, who commissioned the report, blames it on “subtle discrimination” and women being “compelled” to “make choices” (on CNN a few ago). Jeepers—I had no idea men never have to make choices in life and that women are forced to make theirs. I’ve been living in some fantasyland where some women actually happily choose to be home with their children rather than behind a desk or the like (some little girls even play house with their Barbie and Ken dolls…SHHH) and where some women would love to be able to make that choice without being ostracized for it. So glad Dingell cleared that up for me.
