Or something.

Caroline Fayard is the Gloria Steinem of the US Senate race in Louisiana.
Fayard, an attorney from New Orleans, says she will only take 65 percent of the set senate salary because she believes in the mythical and repeatedly debunked “gender wage gap” that is promoted by feminist dogma and the media.
During a campaign luncheon this week, Fayard made the statements claiming that women only earn 65 percent to every man’s dollar in the workforce, according to the Gambit, which reported the gender wage gap as pure fact, something the Times Picayune/NOLA.com recently did.
“I firmly believe you’ve got to put your money where your mouth is,” Fayard said.
“Working mothers in Louisiana pay the same for a gallon of milk as everyone else. Our daughters pay the same for a gallon of gas as our sons,” Fayard continued. “Our economy and families will be stronger when Congress does the right thing by working women.”
However, the figure that there is a somewhat $17,000 pay gap between men and women in the state of Louisiana comes from the feminist advocacy group, the National Partnership for Women & Families (NPWF), which is not pointed out by the Gambit.
The NPWF is just one of many feminist-aligned organizations that pushes inflated and wrong gender wage gap figures, which economists have been debunking since the 1970’s.
Dissident, conservative female icon Phyllis Schlafly, who famously fought radical leftist feminists in the 1970’s against the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), first debunked the gender wage gap in 1982.
