Why So Serious?

I just don't get it. What's up with you angry feminists? You're just always pissed off about something. I mean, can't you take a (mean) joke? It's not like things are as bad as they used to be. Can't you screeching harpies just understand that you already have "equality?"

Bush Threatens to Veto Equal Pay for Women

This week, the House is expected to bring the Paycheck Fairness Act to the floor for a vote, legislation that would help close the wage gap between working men and women and “close loopholes that have allowed employers to avoid responsibility” for discriminatory pay. In an official statement, the White House said it would veto the bill:

The bill would unjustifiably amend the Equal Pay Act (EPA) to allow for, among other things, unlimited compensatory and punitive damages, even when a disparity in pay was unintentional. It also would encourage discrimination claims to be made based on factors unrelated to actual pay discrimination by allowing pay comparisons between potentially different labor markets. In addition, it would require the Department of Labor (DOL) to replace its successful approach to detecting pay discrimination with a failed methodology that was abandoned because it had a 93 percent false positive rate. Thus, if H.R. 1338 were presented to the President, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto the bill.

You're always searching for stuff to get mad about. Hysterics.

UPDATE: Oh, get over it. It's a joke. They mean it as a compliment.
