Apple employees have issued a list of demands to CEO Tim Cook, calling for audits of promotions to address "heteronormative biases" and wage gaps. The internal culture of Apple retail is described as a highly scrutinized "slave farm," suggesting the company's eventual decline will come from internal rot.
President Joe Biden marks "Equal Pay Day" by citing statistics on the wage gap between men and women, further broken down by race. The data shows AAPI women earning 87 cents for every dollar earned by white men, while black and Native American women earn significantly less. The hosts question the logic of combining gender and race in these statistics, suggesting it leads to "discriminatory discrimination" narratives.
Ivanka Trump addressed the Republican National Convention, speaking on the gender wage gap and the need for affordable childcare. Following the speech, she used Twitter to promote a $138 dress from her own fashion line, which she wore during the event. While critics accused her of using the convention for native advertising, the dress quickly sold out at Macy's.
Pope Francis speaks out in favor of equal pay for women, calling the wage gap a "scandal." The hosts view this as further evidence of the Pope's socialist agenda before signing off and thanking the production community for their support.
Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg, referred to jokingly as Donna Sandberg, is criticized for her claims regarding a "toddler wage gap." The discussion centers on her assertion that boys perform fewer household chores than girls while receiving higher allowances, a premise dismissed as an exaggeration of gender equality issues within the home.
Adam Curry introduces a clip from comedian Sarah Silverman regarding the gender wage gap, where she uses the term "vagina tax" to describe the 78-cent-on-the-dollar statistic. The hosts argue that this figure is a debunked political meme used to influence female voters. Curry expresses disappointment in the modern feminist movement for focusing on slogans rather than global women's rights issues.
