You are wrong. In the 70s, 80s and 90s women united together to make a difference in the workplace.
I can tell you women of all races were discriminated against by men of all races. FACT! I know all about tokenism, having been a woman in a traditional male field starting in the 70s.

Still don't know why you are so nasty.
Obviously you are not at the University of Alabama, so why did you even respond? I found my answer by the way.
Don't presume to know me or what I stand for especially in public. I could make public presumptions about you which would be right on the money, but I won't.
Enjoy living your life on chat forums. I have better things to do.

I want people to stop exaggerating when it comes to race and ethnicity. I saw many white people at the airport today but I only sat beside one white person on the plane. Pretty straightforward.

DUH. That doesn't mean that women overwhelmingly banded together across race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status to fight that discrimination. People with even a basic understanding of the intersection of race and ethnicity, gender, and social class in a capitalist society would understand that.

By the way, racial and ethnic minority men did not/do not have the same power that white men had/have. The majority of the discrimination was done/is done by white men because they did/do the majority of hiring and firing. Racial and ethnic minority men benefit on the basis of gender but arguably white women benefit more. Generally speaking, when white women struggled they had their white men to fall back on. When racial and ethnic minority men struggled, generally speaking, they had their overwhelmingly low income or unemployed racial and ethnic minority women to fall back on.*

*Certain Asian ethnicities tend to be exceptions when discussing income and employment across gender and race and ethnicity

I apologize if you feel like a minority. *giving you the Minority Hug*

Power to the people.
