Remember this next time you hear the "77 cents to the dollar" lament by young feminists in college with a degree in "women's studies". They are not likely to be disadvantaged, just more likely than men to want to have babies and/or a more flexible job when they turn 30+.
Also, interestingly enough, white women have been typically been better off than black or Hispanic men as regards wage gap with respect to white men (http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0882775.html http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0882775.html) -- something that is often conveniently swept under the carpet by white feminists.
- normloman 13y agoMost feminists I know don't hesitate to mention the wage gap between white people and black / hispanic people.

Most of the ones I know tend to be from a pretty decent-earning group themselves (white, upper middle class, college-educated) and almost never mention the race-based earning gap, but constantly mention the gender-based one.
