No word on what stay-at-home father's work is worth (I blame for this oversight the institutionalized sexism that has no doubt "inscribed" Reuters' Ellen Wulfhorst), but if you believe what the establishment feminists tell you, the work I'm doing as a man is probably worth, say, $164K.

And while I find that calculus flattering, the way the final number is determined (based on potential earnings for analogous jobs not subject to performance reviews) strikes me a lot like a GM hearing that I like to play catch in my backyard, then signing me to an incentive-laden five year deal for $130 million, with a club option for a sixth season.

Which, incidentally, I deserve, if you happen to be looking for a switch-hitting run producer who can play multiple positions (and yes, Houston, I'm looking at you). But still.

That's just pure coincidence.

If you have something to add, Fire Away!
