Analysis of EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK?

Equal pay for equal work
It sounds just fine to me,
But the women get equal pay
There's no equal work, I can see.

While men work hard eight hours
The women just natter on,
After a less than productive day
They say, "Where has the time gone?"

The Bitch-Queen-Fuehrer has ordered
That women must get equal pay,
And yet they don't do equal work
They're just bludging all day.

She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed says,
"Promotions must go to women first,"
Yet employers who obey the bitch
Seem as though they have been cursed:

By promoting the least skilled workers
They're holding their company down,
And before they know what's happening
Their business has hit the ground.

Logic says to employ the best, and
To promote the most skilled workers,
But Big Sister is watching over us
To command that we hire the shirkers.

While men go up ladders to find
Any files not yet online,
The women wear short-short skirts,
The ladders they do not climb.

Instead, they sit there at their desks
Ready magazines, or knitting away,
While poor men getting the same pay
Have to work like slaves all day.

Equal pay for equal work
It sounds just fine at first,
But it means the best are underpaid
While we always promote the worst.
