People Are Very Divided Over This Hilarious Sketch About The Gender Pay Gap

"Since time is money and money is time, and I'm getting paid for 84% of mine, we're fucking off and going home"

So you may have heard of this little thing called the "gender pay gap", referring to the average difference in what men and women earn for doing the exact same jobs. This sketch suggests a pretty excellent solution to solve this problem.

It's part of the show Growing Up Gracefully, written by and starring, Hannah and Eliza Reilly. It’s currently airing on ABC Australia.

The basic premise is, because women in Australia get paid 16% less than men, they should work 16% less.

It's already garnered half a million views and a whole chorus of people agreeing with the sentiment.

Unsurprisingly, there is also a large amount of people saying that the gender pay gap is a myth.

Obviously, the girls aren't actually suggesting that if we all walked out of work today at 3.43 we'd solve this issue, no matter how tempting it sounds.

But it's definitely sparked up a debate.
