Is anyone else even paying attention to them at this point? Even some people on the left have debunked this equal pay canard.

That graphic is logically incoherent.
@FLOTUS @WhiteHouse not to be a jerk but how is the equal work measured? Is the comparison done for the same exact job and years on the job?

It’s not measured—it’s averaged. So because many women leave the workforce for extended periods to raise children, on average they have less seniority and experience, so they are paid less on average. That’s not an injustice. It’s a result of different life choices.
In cases where men and women are performing the same jobs at the same level of seniority, salaries are very similar.

@FLOTUS @WhiteHouse why don't you start on your own house??

It’s true. Often, the Democrats who constantly preach equal pay don’t pay their male and female staffers similar salaries.

.@FLOTUS Yes. Every woman dreams of having her pay based on a law rather than on her talent and work ethic.

@FLOTUS @WhiteHouse What do you mean keep working on it? They already can reach their dreams! This is America!

Maybe they just don’t want to admit that men and women often have different dreams…on average.
