Well done to modern women, now you can have decent jobs like men can. It really wasn't like that in ye olden days .

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

Didn't all the Disney animation jobs move to Korea?

But yes, certainly - Kudos to modern women.

Man, Disney had some kickass letterhead back then.

Also, that totally looks like a form letter.

Thank god we're progressive enough nowadays to realize we can pay a woman to do a man's job and get 25% savings.

Funny how they went from using "women" to "girls" in the letter: inconsistent.

Would have been even funnier if in the third instance, they went from "girls" to "gals". I don't think it was a form letter, it looks hand done for her, complete with sloppy inconsistencies and adverbs.

You can use that savings to blame homosexuals for failing marriages.

If women were not allowed to work, the unemployment crisis would be over today. (j/k)

Here's to hoping that everyone is employed and paid according to their skill, work ethic and local cost of living, and not by their sex/religion/color/etc.
