Pointing out the Blindingly Obvious About 'Women's Issues'

Big Brass Blog

"I’ve seen the argument made by male bloggers that an issue like Social Security is of concern to everyone because it affects everyone’s bottom line, but that "women’s issues" are somehow distinct to women. I would argue that women still making $.80 on the $1 affects the bottom line of every household that’s got a working woman in it".


Simple. Succinct. Beautiful.

Hey, who couldn't use more money? If you are married to a woman who works, wouldn't you want to have more money, via the no-work-required-on-your-part method of having her be paid more? Doesn't that sound nice?

If your mom and dad both work, and are looking ahead to their retirement, and you're looking ahead to their retirement, too, to how you might be offering them some support at some point, wouldn't more money, because Mom gets paid a decent wage, be helpful?

Don't you think?
