Even the New York Times follows the pattern of paying a woman less, then firing her when she mentions the pay gap. She was quiet, but rumors "forced" the Times to totally trash her reputation.
The New York Post reports that, in 2011, the male executive editor was paid $559,000. His female replacement was paid $475,000. She was earning $525,000 when she was fired. I am not very good with math, but it seems to me that she was getting the standard 20% deduction from her pay for being a female.
Then, the rumors of the pay gap started. The owner of the New York Times announced that the woman could be abrasive, and that is why she was fired. Nothing like a good attack on a woman to cover up for unequal pay. It has worked in the past, and it will work again.
So why do we not start a twitter campaign against the Times? Is it because all you men are STILL AFRAID of strong women?
