Little lady, you don't need equal pay; you need more school

How insulting is this? Senate Republicans this week killed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, saying it would result in too many lawsuits. Um, like, yeah, only if corporations discriminate against women. Sheesh.
It gets worse. John McCain didn’t bother to show up for the vote. Instead, he pontificated from New Orleans that the solution to disproportionate female poverty isn’t the right to sue to enforce equal pay laws, but—check it—better education and training for women. Can you get more condescending?

Mom’s Rising suggests women send him our resumes to give him a little reality check on our skill levels.
