Addressing the racial wage gap is infinitely more important than addressing the gender wage gap. Women being "forced" to have kids and work is obviously less of an issue than a class of folks who get paid less no matter what choices they make.

"Oh how can you be talking about this issue when there's some other issue that you aren't addressing! First fix that issue!" Holy poo poo, this could be BernieBros.txt right here.

No I'm just saying that is pretty much the exact thing Bernie supporters said to TNC re: reparations.

ReadyToHuman posted:So from this I take it to mean the wage gap disappears entirely when women don't decide to have kids? It narrows significantly, yes. When that's taken into account, the disparity between women and racial minorities becomes enormous, and it makes you wonder why people are focusing on such a small gap when such a huge one exists.

ReadyToHuman posted:Hmm so by "yes" you mean "no." Sorry for disagreeing that narrowing a single-digit gap is less important than narrowing a double-digit one. Or is it just that white women stand to be helped more than minority women that compels you?

You seem to have missed the point, which was that there always seems to be a reason why minorities need to play second fiddle to social reforms that, just by happenstance, benefit the white population as much or more than minorities. Your explanation of why they need to take a back seat to women's issues was equally as tonedeaf as those of Berniebros, a common topic of discussion on this forum. I'm not really sorry that I didn't personally interest you, but hopefully you're not too offended.

ReadyToHuman posted:Uh oh, the gap is still there within race too! Thanks for proving exactly what I'm saying - that white women still have it worlds better than any minority.

Voyager I posted:It really is a shame that there's only so much progress to go around and any advancement in one issue must necessarily come at the expense of another related issue. Last time I checked, progress does come incrementally and doesn't affect all issues equally. Don't get me wrong, I'd be for the "I'm for everything getting better at exactly the same pace" platform if it gelled with reality.

I don't think calling people out/bragging that you ignored them/posting screenshots of the Leper's Colony is kosher by D&D rules either, my fellow intransigent.

Please though, blame the people that must adapt to our system, versus the system itself that rewards people for choosing not to have children.
