Lawmaker Says Equal Pay Makes Women Look Like Whiners


Minnesota state Rep. Andrea Kieffer (R) said that a package of bills that would provide paid family and sick leave and address the gender pay gap makes women "look like whiners," the Huffington Post reports.

Said Kieffer: "We heard several bills last week about women's issues and I kept thinking to myself, these bills are putting us backwards in time. 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."


I guess I still do have the ability to be surprised.

We'll cut your paycheck 30% and take away your fancy benefits package and see how you like it.

My guess is that's when we'll hear some real whining, and it will all be yours.

Ladies against women, can't live with 'em, illegal to shoot 'em.
