[00:08:52] <exec> 08└─I just wanted to post this when I saw this in the queue: Gender pay gap 'may take 118 years to close' - World Economic Forum [bbc.com] Like there will be employment as we know it 118 years. We may even destroy human civilization by then.

[00:08:53] <exec> 08└─Right but there is no wage gap. Well, no statistically significant one. Yes, grand total women made 77% what men made. And to do this they worked 76% as many hours. Math, bitches. Juggs, I demand a 1% raise.
