Equal pay - Women's liberation

Equal pay for women is an issue regarding pay inequality between men and women. It is often introduced into domestic politics in many first world countries as an economic problem that needs governmental intervention via regulation.

It wasn't about experience back in those days over a woman, because back in Archie Bunker days women weren't considered equal to men, But in the 70s and 80s things began to change when women started asking for equal rights and equal pay and Archie Bunker didn't like that, his point of view was based on the Bible not based on man-made Society.

[@glennmartin802]

No, the "real" conservative argument is to say women belong in a domestic role while men should be expected to provide. This way people can actually support families on a single income, our society will be more inclined to marry and have children, and the needs of the children are always met.

@It's my way or the Highway 1968 Does not owning a gun make you feel less of a man? There is a book called "The Feminine Mystique" it speaks of how woman in the 60s feel they have to behave a certain way, look a certain way or act a certain way. It's a book on feminism but ultimately can be applied to all genders. It concluded on you should not behave how a people want you too. You will never be free unless you are yourself. You can and should be what you want to be. I guess what I'm trying to say is you don't have to be this way because it's expected of you.

Archie's very last statement about being equal was 100% spot on

[@rpminc1974]

@jpssteveshanahan It's unfair when a lazy freeloading dead weight load like yourself who thinks you should be and have equal outcome compared to the hard working successful person who is contributing to humanity.

[@jamesbrice6619]

​@jpssteveshanahan9572no. Equity is unfair.

[@jamesbrice6619]

@jpssteveshanahan9572 Equity forces everyone to finish the same. Slow down the faster people. Undermine the more successful people, etc...

[@jamesbrice6619]

@jpssteveshanahan9572 yep. All goes back to Marxism

BACK IN THE DAY WHEN TV SHOWS WERE ACTUALLY FUNNY! TV SHOWS NOWADAYS (CSI, MODERN FAMILY, ETC.) ARE GARBAGE!

[@paulsarnik8506]

Archie's view of Religion are the funniest quotes and Meathead's pause is priceless! 😮😅. 🤓😎✌🏻

[@yvie914]

Loved this show growing up🤗...fast forward to today, my husband and I are still laughing but boy, try sharing this with our kids and they are NOT amused. They can't find any humor in his ignorance at all. Today's kids, I swear, theyre so busy being Politically Correct and Accepting of everything and every lifestyle choice but quickly judge those who don't think like they do, regardless of what decade it is.

Imagine a show like this on TV today. They took Dukes of Hazzard off because of a confederate flag on the roof of the car. These shows were hilarious.

And the Confederate flag license plate was on the front of the police cars as well, even Sheriff Little's. Go figure.

I came here because I recently watched this episode, and now I'm watching Who's the Boss Pilot. Alyssa Milano's character said that maybe she could manage the Mets. I was wondering if Norman Lear was involved in this series too,

@peaceandrosegirl I'm not saying woman shouldn't be allowed to work. Sometimes it is a financial necessity. But, the family always breaks down when your natural caretaker is absent. LIke I said reality and wishful thinking are two different things.

I can remember when minimum wage was $1.65 per hour. Had more money then than now.

[@derekleaberry1199]

Funny bit. But there is no real equality because we are all different. Should all shortstops get paid the same? Or cooks? Or doctors? Or writers? Or mechanics, carpenters and plumbers? When I've been at Johns Hopkins during my son's open-heart surgeries, I saw some nurses who did 90 % of what a doctor did while some nurses I wouldn't trust drawing my blood.

[@tikigodsrule2317]

Sure don't want my doctor trying to draw my blood.
