The fight for equal pay is REAL. Some of the most talented women’s players in the world are being told they don’t deserve equal pay because their job has “less responsibility.” What a bunch of mysogenistic patriarchical bullshit. #equalpay#uswntsoccer
People doubted earlier that US Soccer was actually arguing that women are inherently inferior to men as part of the federation's attempt to prove it isn't discriminating against the USWNT based on gender.
So here are some court filing excerpts where they do just that:
@RepKimSchrier speaking at #2020CLC@ACOGAction The only woman physician in Congress. Every time I hear her speak I am floored by how eloquent, brilliant, and passionate she is about fighting for her patients and constituents. #acog
@TammyMurphyNJ is an incredible advocate for women. Hearing about her work to make NJ one of the safest places to give birth is the US is so inspiring! #CLC2020#acog@ACOGAction
@doccrearperry loving your discussion about implicit bias and especially the thoughts on how we can work to ensure all of our patients, and especially WOC, feel comfortable expressing their concerns. #acogCLC
What other advice do you have for making sure the ENTIRE team is on board with this goal, especially as an intern/young attending working with nurses, staff, etc., that are often older and may be more set in their ways?
@jamie_daw wonderful and informative presentation today at #acogCLC#ACOGaction#ACOG You work is fascinating and critical. So glad we’ve got people like you fighting for women 💪
“In 2019 the number of applicants in the Match exceeded the total available residency positions by 3,200.” By 2023 we will be short somewhere between 46,900 and 121,900 doctors. #FundGME#MARCmadness#amamedstudents
The crowd going wild listening to a video that @RepKimSchrier made for us because she couldn’t make it to our meeting in person. (had to go back to WA to address COVID-19). She is so incredible! #MARCmadness#amamedstudents
“Never forget to hold someone’s hand. The assurance you can provide a patient when they are anxious is invaluable.”@RepBradWenstrup telling a story about examining a patient with AIDS and how no one else at the hospital wanted to care for this patient.#MARCmadness#amamedstudents
“We’ve taken the joy out of caring for patients with all the things we are now required to do just to get paid. Medicine is an art. We are working on finding that again.” Brad Wenstrup

“I am $200,000 in debt just starting to practice, how am I a greedy doctor?” Brad Wenstrup #MARCmadness#amamedstudents
The old paradigm of doctors making bags of money is just not accurate anymore.
Advice from Senator John Barasso about how to be effective at advocacy: Visit reps in their home community, invite them to our office or hospital. Tell them a story.
