Chief Wise Eagle A.K.A. US Senator Elizabeth Warren is taking a strong stance on the gender pay-gap! The commonly-cited statistic is that American women make 80 cents on every dollar that an American man makes, and that may very well be true.

As you well know, American women tend to prioritize the IMPORTANT THINGS in life, like family, health, recreation, and homemaking. On the other hand American men instinctively tend to pursue prosperous careers and advanced degrees to provide a good life for their children. For that reason, women tend to take lower-paying jobs with less prospects for upward mobility than men do.

But America's high-cheekbone savior is upending the establishment! No Longer Shall Women Be Payed 20% Less than Men !!!

Senator Warren had this to say:

Women should be paid the same as men for doing the same work — full stop. If we want to make Equal Pay Day obsolete, we have to start making real changes everywhere, including in the halls of Congress.

But Warren doesn't just talk the talk. She also rain-dances the rain-dance - I mean - walks the walk.

Warren's Senate office currently employs 31 women and 20 men, not counting interns. And women in her office make 8% more than the men.

Let me say that once again. Her office is made up of 61% women, and she pays female employees 8% more than she pays the men.

Welp. So much for "employment equity"!

In all seriousness, Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act makes it illegal to discriminate based on a person's race, religion, color, or sex. It is explicitly unlawful to pay women and men different amounts for the same work! It's no surprise that Warren, whose finances are being strictly monitored by the Federal Government, is following the law to a T.

Good for you Lizzie! But I'm not sure why you are pointing out that you are following the same law that EVERY AMERICAN has followed for the past 55 years!
