suchequalitysoup: hey-nnister: helioscentrifuge: SHOTS FIRED Damn that turned innocent to calling out sexism real fast Hey friends, I just wanted to point out that the wage gap has already been debunked countless times. uh no, just the opposite, its been proven to be more a extreme gap for woc

I feel like there’s an unchecked amount of cissexism on this post. first, there’s no such thing as “opposite” gender, because the line from “boy” to “girl” is not binary or even a straight journey from point a to point b, they are not on opposite sides of a spectrum, though society likes to paint them as such.

second, after assuming “opposite gender” = “male,” they then make the further assumption of “male” = “penis” (also cissexist, conflating gender with genitals)

third, they further assume that “adding a penis” makes you earn more in your line of work, which is not always the case.

(suchequalitysoup is being ridiculous, the wage gap exists, affecting both MoC and WoC, as well as transfolk [more disproportionately TWoC, as shown in links previously shared above], and conditioning starts as children, so denying it doesn’t make it any less real.)

The easiest way to have avoided all of this would have been to simply ask, “What would you do if you had a penis for a day?” and then taken care to make sure your answer wasn’t chock full of shit.
