via the Guardian newspaper – The idea that each baked good would cost the proportion of $1 that you earn relative to men.
“It started with male students upset they’d have to pay the full $1 for a cake … and ended with the realisation we still desperately need feminism in the 21st century.”

I am always surprised by the hostility in the world. I am enamored with the bake sale idea and appalled by some of those comments. Thanks for sharing! So interesting!

Yeah, it’s crazy right?! I really thought it was an interesting concept. Reminds me of that thing about privilege… That you can be so privileged that equality seems like a bad thing!

Wow, this is insane. People on the internet are so brave when they are anonymous. It’s scary to think that people still have such horrible views about strong women. Thank you for sharing!

Sadly, while I’m appalled, I’m not surprised. Just look at the response when a female dared propose that a female should appear on our currency! It’s disturbing that these attitudes are so pervasive and that the threats used to keep women quiet are becoming more and more violent. A very sorry state of affairs 😦 x

Wow!! People are getting more and more angry.. Especially men! Looks like feminism has failed to make people see that women matter.. Still seems as if we are things and not people.
