When is gold digging prostitution? That's an easy one. It's ALWAYS prostitution. Whores charge money for sex. Whether it's expensive or cheap, it's all the same thing.
Call it what you want, but that doesn't change what it is.
Women who want sex are cougars. Men who want sex are pigs. Take your pick.
*yawn*
Earning 78% of a man's salary is fair if you're only doing 78% of the work that a man does. It's only only unfair if you do 100% of the work. I think the mantra is "equal pay for equal work," right? Well, try doing equal work and then you can complain.
Here's the thing: If women *actually* did equal work, and got paid 78% less, do you know what would happen? Somebody smart (probably a man) would start a company and only hire women. That company would get equal work but their labor costs would be 78% of the competition. They could undercut the price of their competition and dominate the marketplace. But that never happens. Why not?
Because the economy pays fair market value, that's why. If you think women should get equal pay, you should first try providing an equal economic benefit to your employer first.
