"Suppose the pay gap between men and women were magically eliminated. If that happened, simple arithmetic suggests that half of women would be unable to find what they regard as a suitable mate."
—Phyllis Schlafly

So let's see. Wealth inequality is at its highest levels since the 1920s crash. The republicans fight any attempt to make wage/gender equality a law, plus massive resistance to increasing the minimum wage to levels that could potentially support a family without government assistance, which forms a subsidy for giant corps like Walmart. I'd love to see the mathematical proof, since it's such simple arithmetic, behind Schlafly's math. What a maroon.

I do love women who make a career out of telling other women real women don't have careers.

The math hinges on Schlafly believing that income inequality is the reason that women seek men, so that they can have sufficient income to survive. And so they will find a "suitable" mate that she will marry for his paycheck. If you eliminated the pay gap, then those uppity [oh la la] would never have to submit to the authority of a man like God intended them to. Single liberal women living lives! And probably having health insurance, too!
