Comedian Sarah Silverman and Droga5 released a video designed to teach Americans about the wage gap between men and women, and to raise money for the Equal Payback Project to help close it.
In the video — which contains mature content — Silverman begins by noting that women make up half the working population, but “only make 78 cents to every dollar a man makes in almost every profession.”
“Every year,” she continues, “the average woman loses $11,000 to the wage gap. Over the course of the working years of her life, that’s over $500,000 — that’s a $500,000 vagina tax!”
“That’s why I’m taking matters into my own hands,” Silverman announces. “I’m becoming a dude.”
