Feminism means earning your pay raise and then demanding it from your boss.
Congress has already passed laws to prevent me from discrimination in the workplace. It's illegal to ask me my age, my martial and children status. It's illegal to pinch my ass or try to coerce me into sex for a promotion or employment.
Congress has done all they can and are willing to do to provide a decent working enviornement for women to advance. Now is the time for women to ask for their raise .
Men do it all the time. And us women? We think that if we just keep our heads down and work like good little soldiers that someone will give us what we're "owed." Most Men have no problem going for the gold and making demands. Most women are worried about seeming "pushy" or "disloyal."
Well guess what? Your boss is going to try to get away with paying you as little as possible... unless you prove yourself indispensible and then threaten to go elsewhere if they don't pay what your worth .
I don't want a bunch of old white men (Congress) to give me a mandatory pay raise like a child's allowence cause I'm a chick. I'm going to prove myself a smart, hard-working person and then go elsewhere if I'm not getting what I want.
That's the freedom of feminism.
