So, Let Me Get This Straight: You’re Whining About Me Whining?
Why do we always end up back here with Democratic Women versus Republican Girls?
Up in Minnesoooota, Democratic State Rep. Carly Melin introduced some bills asking for equal pay for equal work, expand access to child care, and paid sick leave.
Well, the Republican girls weren’t having any of that.
“We heard several bills last week about women’s issues and I kept thinking to myself, these bills are putting us backwards in time,” State Rep. Andrea Kieffer (R) told colleagues at a Wednesday hearing on one of the measures. “We are losing the respect that we so dearly want in the workplace by bringing up all these special bills for women and almost making us look like whiners.”
In Minnesota, women make 80 cent for every dollar a man makes in the same job.
Here’s my plan for dealing with Andrea. Let’s don’t whine that she’s whining about us whining. Let’s just kick her ass.
Thanks to Jay for the heads up.
