I don't recall Warren Harding bloviating about being a champion of "women's rights".

Harding was a vocal supporter of the women's suffrage movement. When he wasn't busy bribing his many mistresses with hush money, that is.

You mean Warren Harding bribed his mistresses to remain silent...unlike Kommander Korruption..aka, William Jefferson Clinton who tried to bribe Monica with a cushy job arranged by his friend, Washington mover and shaker...Vernon Jordan?

Harding didn't bloviate about women's rights, unlike O'Bomber and other demoscat Socialists who blither, blather, bloviate and bullshiiit about women's pay disparities...while paying women on their staffs less than men. Tin plated hypocrites!

Demanding equal pay is a firing offense at the Treason Times. Is there anyone here who would dispute the Treason Times trumpets "equal pay for women"? Just little old tin plated hypocrites.

Why Jill Abramson Was Fired
Ken Auletta

At the annual City University Journalism School dinner, on Monday, Dean Baquet, the managing editor of the New York Times, was seated with Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., the paper’s publisher. At the time, I did not give a moment’s thought to why Abramson, the paper’s executive editor, was not at their table. Then, at 2:36 P.M. on Wednesday, an announcement from the Times hit my e-mail, saying that Baquet would replace Abramson, less than three years after she was appointed the first woman in the top job.Baquet will be the first African-American to lead the Times....

As with any such upheaval, there’s a history behind it. Several weeks ago, I’m told, Abramson discovered that her pay and her pension benefits as both executive editor and, before that, as managing editor were considerably less than the pay and pension benefits of Bill Keller, the male editor whom she replaced in both jobs. “She confronted the top brass,” one close associate said, and this may have fed into the management’s narrative that she was “pushy,” a characterization that, for many, has an inescapably gendered aspect...

as also told by another friend of Abramson’s that the pay gap with Keller was only closed after she complained., to women at an institution that was once sued by its female employees for discriminatory practices, the question brings up ugly memories.

Funny how that goes...and we were all women.

But, yes, women often get into hot water "pushing" for more pay...or, as Randall put it here

Well, that was before my time. But, let me just say that I condemn any effort to cover up adulterous affairs by bribes or threats by anyone. That would include Harding/Republicans and Kommander Korruption/demoscats as well as the "Husband of the Year...John Edwards/demoscat.
