Sorry, but “knowing your worth” or “leaning in” isn't going to solve any problems
I can’t count the number of times I’ve compared rates with fellow writers and found out that we haven’t been paid the same for similar pieces. Or, to be blunt—that I’ve been paid less.
But disappointingly—and likely unsurprisingly—that isn’t the case. Instead, I typically greet news that a colleague has been paid more with a static smile and nod and dutiful, “Oh wow!” I remain cagey about what I’ve earned and what I’ve asked for, and blame myself for not being a little more forward, a little more aggressive or better at my job. I’ve only told a friend that I was paid less than they were a handful of times, and each time I waited for them to judge me because wow.
But I should, and so should every other woman and female-identifying person. As a white, cis, hetero woman, I earn more than every other woman . And if I feel this way, perched atop my hill of privilege, I know marginalized women, who make even less money, likely struggle even more. Which is why it’s crucial to consider the way we talk about income.
