Short Link to this Quote:
This is the same Elayne Boosler quote that was provided earlier in the conversation history. As analyzed before, the best interpretation is that Boosler is using satire and exaggeration to draw attention to the serious issue of how women have historically faced discrimination in the workplace, including lower salaries than men for equal work.
Her joke implies this discrimination stems partly from the overemphasis on a woman’s physical attributes rather than her skills and qualifications for the job.
