Sarah Silverman Gets 'Sex Change' To Avoid 'Vagina Tax' In Wage Gap
In a video for the Equal Payback Project, Silverman undergoes a sex change to avoid what she calls the "vagina tax." "Women make up almost half the working population, yet we typically earn just 78 cents to every dollar a man makes in almost every profession, like doctors, lawyers, teachers, miners, and even the oldest profession of them all — tailors," she says. "Every year the average woman loses around $11,000 to the wage gap. Over the course of her working life, that's almost $500,000. That's a $500,000 vagina tax!" Her solution? "I'm becoming a dude," she says. "In the grand scheme of things, it's way less expensive than the money I'll lose having a p---y. Plus, I'll finally be able to pee on walls!"
