I know, I'm not saying there's not discrimination the other way too. LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 07/03/2010 05:35:04 AM
I'm only saying that, sometimes, there's just no good reason for discrepancy in pay between the genders. There was guys I worked with that did the same exact job I did, that did it no better, worked less, and made more. And then there were also guys who worked the same exact job I did, but worked harder and more hours and they rightly got more pay. And I do not in the slightest begrudge them that.

I'm just saying there's not always some good logical reason.

Also, are you not impressed by my drunk-typing? I've totally had 2 jaeger shots, 2 rum/cokes and rum pre-game and I type perfectly fine. yaaaaaaah.
Still Empress of the Poofy Purple Pillow Pile Palace!!
