    CNN Money just ran an article on the 10 ways that single women get crushed financially. Got a minute? Let’s take a look at how our single female friend (we’ll call her Judy) gets screwed over:

    1. The pay gap: The article starts off with 84 cents on the dollar. Then it admits that “for the exact same work” women earn only 97 cents on the dollar. What other kind of pay gap is there other than for the exact same work. But nice try on the 84 cents Judy.

    2. You typically pay more for shampoo, razors, and jeans. They call it the “pink tax”. Look, if shampoo and razors are cheaper for men, then buy the men’s product. It’s the same s~~~! Call it the idiot tax, because I don’t care what color my razor is, I’m buying the one at the best price. Buy the blue razor Judy, you’re single. No one will see the razor in your shower is blue.

    3. Singles pay more for car insurance: The article states that singles (men and women) pay more. So how is the woman getting crushed? We are paying the same price. Complete bulls~~~ lie Judy (but wait for #10 and you’ll understand)…… Next?

    4. You are far less likely to be CEO: Ok, there are 500 companies in the Fortune 500 and 330 million people in the US. So, you have a .000000015% chance of landing one of those jobs. Nobody statistically has a chance at those jobs. F~~~ off and learn math Judy. Next?

    5. Don’t expect time off when you have a baby (single women remember): 40% of American babies are born to unmarried women (yeah read that again). The US is the only developed nation that doesn’t guarantee paid leave for new mothers. OK, then move to another country to have your bastard child. You knew that going in and tried to trap a guy anyway. Maybe that 40% number is the reason that employers don’t want to give you unpaid time off. Then again, if you are really that talented I’m sure you can get a job at a big company that offers that time off. This chick is really starting to annoy me.

    6. You are more likely to earn the minimum wage: 2/3 of minimum wages workers in the US are women, and half are single mothers. Kind of explains the wage gap in #1 doesn’t it? Making minimum wage typically means doing minimum work, so that sounds about right. So, kind makes that decision to have a baby on your own look pretty f~~~ing stupid doesn’t it Judy? Yeah, don’t do that anymore. Actions have consequences. Who knew? Oh yeah, and being a single mom is the only thing standing between your minimum wage job and being the CEO….

    7. College debt takes a bigger bite out of your paycheck. Believe it or not, if you make minimum wage and have a college debt to pay off, it’s a big piece of your paycheck. If Johnny makes $5,000 per month and Judy makes $1,000 per month, and each has a $500 per month student loan, who is paying a higher percentage of their income to the student loan? Probably should have learned how to do a story problem in high school Judy………….

    8. Childcare is expensive: Yup, it’s almost like everyone in the world knows that. Except Judy, the minimum wage single mother with no paid leave and a big student loan who wants to be the CEO. Judy is looking more and more like a catch every day! I’ve think I’ve seen her profile on POF.

    9 You don’t get the startup funding that men do: Again, back to the CEO thing. There aren’t as many women who have stood on the moon as men, but the statistical difference isn’t significant because virtually NO ONE gets startup funding, stands on the moon or becomes the CEO. But, math again. Sorry Judy.

    10. You might pay more for disability insurance. “If someone buys disability insurance through their company plan, it’s gender neutral, meaning men and women pay the same rates. But if a woman buys disability insurance on her own, she’ll have to pay the higher rate.” Let me man-splain that to you: If she buys disability insurance at work it is subsidized by the men. If she buys it on her own, she will have to pay her fair share. So, Judy’s two choice are a fair price or a subsidized price, and she is getting screwed. Logic is not Judy’s strong suit.

    CNN should be embarrassed for running this piece of s~~~. So to summarize, Judy has a bastard child, graduated from college to a minimum wage job, isn’t smart enough to buy the blue razor instead of the pink one, and can’t complete a simple story problem involving fractions, but she “feels like” she is held back because I won’t make her my CEO. Got it.

    I think your future might be in porn Judy………

    Nice post. Judy seems short in the logic department. Judy shouldn’t have kids that she can’t afford to take care of on her own. Judy should get better at math and Judy should quit trying to make herself look like a victim.

    Feminism isn't about equality with men, it's about leverage over men.

    Let’s say everything Judy said was a hundred percent accurate. With this in mind becoming a single mother would be an even dumber thing you can do than it already is. Now, as a business owner, would it make sense to me to higher a single mother knowing they are so stupid to fall for a life trap as this?

    Don't stick your dick into anyone you aren't willing to put up with for eighteen years and nine months.

    Hellraider:

    Good point. The article was kind of about single women as a voting block and how much power they have in the upcoming election. The problem is that Judy probably doesn’t have time to go to the voting booth because she is raising a child on her own.

    But she has time to spend a couple of hours on Facebook everyday posting inspirational quotes from God knows what website and then liking everyone that likes her. And posting a picture of every dump her bastard child leaves in his diaper, and reposting videos of cats doing the funniest thing that you just have to see, and “If you don’t love me at my worst you don’t deserve me at my best” bulls~~~.

    You GO Judy!! You’ll be CEO in no time. Hell, if you think about it, your job as a single mother is so tough, you are the CEO of your home. There, knock that one off the list. Now, to buy some blue spray paint for my razors so they will be cheaper……………

    Like single mothers dont abort their children like a turd when they think they can get money from them.

    She though she could just stay at home and BIG DADDY GOVERMENT would pay for everything…

    She probably thought a baby would be like a cat, some food, a litter box and thats it…

    Brilliant piece tax guy. You know the only reason women have kids is because of the benefits. If the state refused to help, this behavior would not occur. They would abort more or actually act like ladies.

    If it costs you your peace of mind, then it is too expensive.

    It raises the question who would willing put themselves in this situation. We have the internet and more information than ever, ignorance is no longer an excuse.

    A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

    I love this one when its just cold hard fact men pay more for car insurance than women do lol.

    5. Don’t expect time off when you have a baby (single women remember)

    Or this. How many single men get time off when their baby mama poops out a womb turd?

    8. Childcare is expensive

    Or this…you know what is more expensive then child care? Child support that men get stuck with.

    Gotta love how hilariously stupid the feminist propaganda is. You’d have to be stupid enough to be a feminist to believe any of this crap.

    My God.

    Thanks for doing this one TaxGuy. I swear. They are STILL trying to do the wage gap thing. It’s like having a CD with only ONE song on it. You can only listen to it for so long before you have to get rid of it.

    Number 6 kills me. “You are more likely to earn the minimum wage”. Well, if you have a job that pays the minimum wage, then YES, Chances are you WILL be getting a minimum wage paycheck! Now, if this is still happening when you become the store owner, the lead physician, or you’re a partner in a law firm, etc. THEN you should be complaining.

    I still like this part the most:

    Traister agrees. “Huge numbers of women are saying…We are a changed nation and we require a different relationship with our government.”

    Don’t worry. At the rate men are opting out of marriage, relationships, and even society itself, you’ll have a “different” relationship with your government………………..Right in ya’ face!!!

    Learn from the past, Control the present, and you will know the Future.

    I’m in the same boat as “all these single ladies,” fresh outta college with somewhere around $100K in student loans to pay-off (I don’t really care to keep track, I just know it’s a lot), but you don’t see me whining and complaining about it on the Internet. And I also work a minimum-wage job too. How can I afford the payments plus rent, insurance, food, etc.? I picked-up a second minimum-wage job, something that I’ve noticed most women aren’t willing to do. Many of these single mothers who are in my shoes understandably don’t have the time to work another job because they need to care for their bastard child. They either should’ve chosen a more reliable mate or they were banking on the government to provide them with monthly child support/alimony payments. Tough titties I say.

Then again, if you are really that talented I’m sure you can get a job at a big company that offers that time off. This chick is really starting to annoy me.

    I love how women (especially single mothers who are VERY guilty of this) constantly use their kids as a shield and excuse for everything, why they can’t do XYZ (get a better job, educate themselves, improve their situation, and need more welfare money) when women in US and I suspect the rest of the western world (though I do not know other nations laws, please feel free to correct me) have ALL the options in the world. Contraception, Abortion, Adoption, and even abandonment! At every point the woman always has the power and choice to not have the kid, and even when she does have the kid she ALWAYS has the option and legal right to give up that kid, so there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for this kind of bulls~~~ of “well I’m a single momlife is so hard, woe is me!” because they always had the choice to NOT be a single mom and go back to just being a single person and improving their situation like every man is expected to.

    Cue the single mothers/feminist/sjw/white knight/mangina outrage “How DARE you suggest something so horrible like that! Giving up the child? How could you be so inhumane you monster!” Dude, its called being proactive. Its what society and women have drilled into men since a very young age, if you don’t like your situation change it. If you’re tired of not making enough money, then there are ways to IMPROVE yourself or IMPROVE your situation. It’s tough as hell, but it can be done and before any feminist or single mother bitch reads this and cries “OMG! You’re HORRIBLE! How dare you suggest that!” Remember that THIS is the same s~~~ that you, every women, and all of society says to men when WE talk about the raw deal we’re getting.

    In fact, the only people who have a right to complain about single mothers/children are MEN. Because its not only men who have to pay for women’s s~~~ty choices, but the situation is that men DON’T have a f~~~ing choice when it comes to this matter. If he wants the kid and she wants an abortion, well tough s~~~. If he doesn’t want the kid, but she does, well ohhh boy you are in for a world of pain. I hope you like giving away your own hard earned money, because thats exactly what you will be doing for the rest of your life with alimony and child support. And even if you don’t and get thrown in jail for deliquent payments, then she turns around and goes to welfare where she then gets all the men who pay taxes to pay for her f~~~ing kid and single mother ass. At no point does the man have ANY power or any CHOICE. He can only AGREE and PAY for HER CHOICE, or DISAGREE and PAY for HER CHOICE (or go to jail if he can’t afford to pay). Until paternal abortions become a legal and viable option for men, feminists/single mothers have absolutely NO RIGHT to bitch and complain about the hardships of “single motherhood”

    At every point the woman always has the power and choice to not have the kid,

    I agree with this, but what makes it even more bulls~~~ is a lot of women aren’t having kids now until their late 20s or early 30s. The average person graduates high school at 18…that leaves them with a solid 10-15 years to do something with their life before the kid becomes an issue.

    I’m not trying to belittle anyone here, I know some people are late bloomers, but for the most part, I’m going to feel safe assuming that people who have had zero ambition throughout their 20s and put literally no effort into improving their employment situation, their education level, their marketable skills, etc, aren’t going to start doing it in their 30s. People who spend a solid decade of their life doing nothing but digging themselves into a hole…financially, socially, and mentally can’t just magically undo that over night. The fact that they had a kid isn’t the reason why they never went anywhere in life, its just an excuse for their past failures and lack of effort.

    I love the title of the article:
    Ten reasons why women should be mad… hold on, you are saying they are not?!

    Guys, I know this is upsetting but its not like its surprising…. We have known this propaganda stuff for years now.
    I kinda love this thou, the more stuff like this, the more MGTOW, the more MGTOW, the more women keep asking “where did all the good men go”, etc etc.

    And to be honest… If women take all the jobs… they are the ones working… hold on… we wont have to?
    I know it sounds crazy but… can you imagine what can we do with only 1 generation of parents teaching children at home instead of women?

    hmm….

    wohodude100 I cannot agree more with that statement. Your quote should be featured on top gun pure gold.

    A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

    The main issue of being a single woman is if you have a child, which was your fault for choosing a bad partner. Maybe if woman weren’t obsessed with douchebags this wouldn’t happen so much. Not to mention even as a single parent you still get money monthly for you and your child. 80-90% of that money you spend on yourself until you’re child is nearly a teenager. By then the childs father would probably be earning more money and you’d be getting more money from him.

    The pink tax thing is pathetic as a single or married woman. If a masculine car cost 5 grand a feminine car cost 1 grand I’d by the cheaper one assuming the capabilities were relatively equal. I don’t give a f~~~ how it looks.

    And that CEO s~~~ applies to pretty much no one, because chances are you know almost no one who is a Ceo.
