A plea from Sarah Silverman to close the gender wage gap

Sarah Silverman self declared “writer, comedian and vagina owner” is back with another provocative (NSFW) video taking on the issue of the gender wage gap. Silverman uploaded this video last week to raise awareness and offer up a few tongue in cheek solutions from gender reassignment surgery through to crowd funding the ridiculously big total amount of the wage gap : $29,811,746,430,000.

Silverman explains in the video “Every year, the average woman loses around $11,000 to the wage gap. Over the course of the working years of her life, that’s almost $500,000. That’s a $500,000 vagina tax!”
