Oh, the money-show - on several of the mean-girlish videos, shows a man's fist, holding a neat stack of

currency.  Along the lines of, neh-neh-neh, wahmin-free men gots the bucks, and you wahminz don't, neh-neh-neh.  And we broads are emotional??  Bu-but the financial sites are saying, that half the us population is living from pay (or annuity) check to check - that average credit card debt is like eight or nine thousand.  Half the population. Could it be, the female half who's in debt - while the misog-martins are joyfully lighting cigars with $20s?  

Nope, don't think so, because the financial advice websites are so gender blind.  Last i checked, both genders buy new stuff, when there's nothing wrong with the old stuff.  Both genders buy pizzas and subs three times weekly, and could save a ton, over time, if they instead brown-bagged.  The last financial site showed how much a pack of cigarettes per day will cost in a year's time.  Last i checked, that money-pit habit is gender-blind too.

What's most telling on these finance sites is: if the money woes were affecting women, and not men, you could bet your boots, there'd be something feminist/w0kist.  Nope.  The sites just tell the viewers to make a budget, stick to a budget, cut up the cards, invest wisely...

And YES, women tend to be poorer than men.  Because women generally live some five years longer than do men.  Women also, tend to earn less - not because of discrimination, but because women choose not to climb telephone poles during high winds.
