#2 Toyota makes better cars.

New Balance makes better shoes.

#3 Audi probably has it right with their ad - their market is women and men who identify as women much of the time. Their cars seem great but break to often and way too expensively, IMO.

#4 I lean towards what the commentary posited: the ad was thought up and created around six months before the Superb Owl and the election.

No one expected the iceberg.

#5 I have at my desk a blue automatic pencil and a pink automatic pencil. Both use identical erasers and lead; the only difference is color. Although I paid the same for each pencil, the "culture" seems to be saying that I pay an approximate 17% discount for using the pink pencil.

If I were a capitalist interested in enhancing my EBITA, would I not purchase and use pink pencils exclusively?

There is much more than the Y chromosome to explain the "reduction" in pay women receive for "same" work. It's just easier to clamor along about it, because, well, math is hard.

#6 Love those terms "dirt people" and "cloud people"

Yes indeed

However i think it is untrue to say there is no longer any workplace issue with women being paid less for work of the same description, hours and value.

I have seen it in my former workplace.if they can get away with it they will
