We certainly try to blend into a single, feminine matriarchal entity! ;-)[quote=“miasm, post:93, topic:98466”]
I’d love it if we could assume companies, or really any group that benefits from distributed responsibility, were good faith actors.

Indeed! We can’t, though.[quote=“miasm, post:93, topic:98466”]
I think I’m trying to say that good arguments will fall on deaf ears because the established system is so fucked that dealing with it in a good faith fashion is practically impossible.

That’s true enough. I’d also argue that things that from a “market-based” stand point, seem rational, are undercut by other various forms of prejudice that permeates our society. Hence (and to bring it on back to the topic of this thread) women of color often have many more barriers than white women. They experience a double helping of discrimination, because of their gender and race/ethnicity. I’m not sure how well it’s known, but affirmative actions programs and equal employment policies have general benefited white women the most. That also doesn’t mean that white women still don’t face hurdles, but that we face less hurdles than our sisters of color.
