A 74-year-old man in a bow tie has given the most compelling justification for the gender pay gap we’ve heard yet:
“Women”, Polish politician Janusz Korwin-Mikke declared, “must earn less than men, because they are weaker, they are smaller, they are less intelligent”.
The right-winger made the comment to a near empty parliament in Warsaw on Wednesday during a debate on the topic.
It didn’t sit well Spanish socialist Iratxe Garcia Perez, whose tiny brain obviously failed to comprehend why its owner ought to receive a tiny packet.

I am much more book smart than my partner but he is by far more worldly than I am. Put an English essay in front of us and i'll ace it but anything at all around the house, he will fix it with no trouble at all. He is also MUCH more physically strong than I am, however I would regard myself as more emotionally strong than he is. And this is just our relationship! I wish old white men would stop generalising.
Well with my 2 degrees from a top tier uni, my big pay packet, my killer resume, multiple properties, luxury vehicles and my large Pacific Islander frame and the fact that I work out 7 times a week I can tell you I'm stronger, bigger and more intelligent than many men I personally know and even if I didn't have those things at the very least i have enough brains to not make sweeping generalisations about 50% of the population.
