On Equal Pay Day, Sexist Economy Doesn't Exist, says Carrie Lukas →

“Feminists may protest, but American women aren’t the victims of a sexist economy. It’s time to declare an end to the Equal Pay Day myth.” Carrie Lukas

In the article, she gives prime examples of how our sexist economy works, like women’s decision to choose between children and high-paying career, as proof that we don’t have a sexist economy.
The day that deciding to become a mother and not being economically penalized is a reality is the day we will no longer have a sexist economy.
