Buzzfeed's feminist fear mongering misleads working women

“This is why employers can legally pay women less than their male coworkers,” a Buzzfeed News headline promised to explain last week.

In a video breaking down a recent ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, Buzzfeed covered the decision by interspersing legal commentary with footage of shocked women on the street reacting to the news. The video, unsurprisingly, makes a clear effort to frame the decision as a symptom of the pervasive and outmoded sexism feminists believe to be plaguing American workplaces.
