Dash basically says that complaining about the wage gap is “an excuse… It’s the same thing with race, it’s an excuse. Stop making excuses.” Dash says that by complaining about it makes women “victims.” Also, she thinks that if women want to make the same kind of money that men make, they need to be “the best” and “be extraordinary.” Yeah… she’s an idiot.
Dash received a lot of backlash and hate online, because the internet thrives on yelling at stupid people. If you go to Dash’s Twitter page, she’s been retweeting some of the “hate” she’s gotten, as well as some of the support. She also defended Meredith for having her on the show. Some assorted tweets by Dash in the past few days:
I’m for equality of OPPORTUNITY. NOT equality of OUTCOME. That is the ***** PROMISE of Liberalism. It is a con on society.
Hey @meredithvieira, look what we did! I love you and I respect you. Thank you for having me on the @MeredithShow! #FriendsCanDisagree
I am not ANTI-WOMAN! I just don’t believe that my gender needs a bunch of men in Congress to ‘save us’ from the big bad world.
The 77 cents vs a dollar is based on B.S. statistics. STOP USING IT. CELEBRATE that EDUCATED women in their 20’s now make more than men!
I DON’T CARE IF I AM THE LONE VOICE IN THE WOODS, I WILL NOT LET THE GOVERNMENT MAKE WOMEN AN ENTITLEMENT CLASS. #HOLDINGTHELINE.”
