    Freely negotiated? Oh really? On anything resembling fair bargaining power in most situations? And as to your last sentence -- if business could hire women at a discount -- you think they don't try? Maybe they don't get away with it as much anymore because of somewhat tougher laws against it, but come on.

    Virginia Thomas urged White House chief to pursue unrelenting efforts to overturn the 2020 election, texts show

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/03/24/virginia-thomas-mark-meadows-texts/


    "Virginia Thomas, a conservative activist married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, repeatedly pressed White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to pursue unrelenting efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in a series of urgent text exchanges in the critical weeks after the vote, according to copies of the messages obtained by The Washington Post and CBS News.


    The messages – 29 in all – reveal an extraordinary pipeline between Virginia Thomas, who goes by Ginni, and President Donald Trump’s top aide during a period when Trump and his allies were vowing to go to the Supreme Court in an effort to negate the election results.

    On Nov. 10, after news organizations had projected Joe Biden the winner based on state vote totals, Thomas wrote to Meadows: “Help This Great President stand firm, Mark!!!...You are the leader, with him, who is standing for America’s constitutional governance at the precipice. The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History.”

    More women ask for raises than men, and fewer women get raises. There is lots of information available about how female employees are valued less than male. I find it astonishing, truly honestly, that you don't think something so well documented actually exists.

    Come on, man. I didn't say anything close to that.

    All I have said in multiple ways is that societal mores have changed a lot with regard to traditional gender roles, and this all-or-nothing narrative you have created of women having been subjugated would have been foreign to people 50, 75 or 150 years ago. Your narrative is nothing like Jim Crow, which isn't something that needs to be conjured through an unnuanced 2022 prism you are choosing to look through. People were able to see Jim Crow for what it was when it existed without your extreme interpretations of how it was.

    You are so unwilling to speak in any nuance that you are just trying to put words into my mouth. Stop trying to attribute some extreme, "They were subjugated and loved it!" nonsense to me.

    I'm not rationalizing anything. My mom had an aptitude for math. She was steered toward being a teacher, while her brother worked at IBM in the early days. She would have liked to have had the chance at something she might have found more challenging. She also was dealing with the same competing wants that everyone was dealing with at the time, where people wanted families and that meant making choices and there were certain prevailing societal mores that created gender roles that had been traditional for a long time. Which was largely why women ended up being "relegated" to certain jobs. It was nothing like Jim Crow, which was a product of pure bigotry.
