    I’m uneasy with this commonly seen argument here. There is a class war, but it’s not like the gender war disappears on the working class side when workers unite.

    It’s only men vs women insofar as men uphold and reinforce the patriarchy like in the post.

    People more eloquent than myself can probably elaborate on what I’m saying better than my admittedly brief comment here.

      Indeed the working class can be some of the most socially regressive people on the planet when it comes to racial and gender issues.

        Hey thanks for that. As Lady Butterfly said, conditioning can be strong.

        I think the recent news about César Chavez really drives this point home.
