I completely endorse this idea, that since women are compensated at a lower rate than men that they are, actually, working without pay after a certain date of the year.
The reason that the feminism of the 1960s-70s was first ridiculed then crushed into ineffectiveness through the advertising and fashion industries is because women within the feminist movement and its supporters started agitating for real equal pay for equal work. If women were suddenly given equal pay to men, it would be the greatest distribution of wealth downward, probably in our history. And it would bolster the effort for economic justice for other identity groups as well. Any movement that threatens those who sit at the top through agitation for justice and equality will be crushed.
There is nothing more radical than a demand for economic, social and legal justice and there is nothing more guaranteed to get the oligarchs, their press and their pop culture propaganda wing set to destroy you.
Speaking of which:
