That would be a good point, unfortunately the article misses it entirely by advocating people don't have to 'right' to demand equal pay because they're guilty of the same thing (by association).
It's the kind of tit-for-tat moral whataboutism that really doesn't do much to solve either problem.

But that doesn't mean we should avoid the more difficult discussion. I know that I'm privileged, and I figure I should focus on what I do, not what's done to me. I expected more commenters on this thread to take that position. As it is, the insistence on discussing what we are paid just makes us look like prima donnas.
