We still make less...

Emily sent me this link from the Washington Post about the wage gap and its relation to ideas about gender roles... Apparently, feminist men (men that believe in employment equality between men and women) make less than men that subscribe to more "traditional" views of gender roles.  The study doesn't go into the why, but I find it very interesting that people who want equality in this country are often the biggest losers.  Of course, egalitarian women, such as myself, still make less than egalitarian men, proving that no matter what, the gap is gender-only related... and, surprise, surprise, women who believe in the same "traditional" views of gender roles that get rich, powerful men richer, get paid the least of any group. 

Wonder what that means for Palin?
