14. And there we diasagree

As I said, it's not only white feminism concerned with this issue. Feminists of color as very aware of a gendered wage gap. And as far as your false comparisons, I've heard people say they'd rather make as much as a black male basketball star than a white women working checkout at Wallmart. This is called race baiting.

The gendered wage gap exists-- if we were having a reasonable conversation we could begin to talk about power-- most positions of power on the U.S. belong to White Males-- regardless of wages, but we are not having a reasonable argument.

Nice load. GeorgeGist Feb 2015 #1
