Of course I did... and looks like you finally got their schtick.
I check that site once in a while to get & keep up with their "insights"... and get a chuckle at some of the contributors when they exude
complete resignation on some topics (yeah... because that's just the way it is) and outrage over small, minor things they see wrong in the real (and digital) world

So can I assume you agree with her that we need laws to force employers not to be jackasses about paying people based on their dick count?

Have her types never heard the art of negotiating while retaining feminine touch?
Laws are already in place... they just need the "drive"!

For years, legislators and women’s advocates have been seeking solutions. In many ways, the wage gap is a complicated problem tied to culture, tradition and politics. But one part of it can be traced to a simple fact: many women just don’t negotiate, or are penalized if they do. In fact, they are one-quarter as likely as men to do so, according to statistics from Carnegie Mellon University. So rather than wax academic about the issue, couldn’t we simply teach women some negotiation skills?
