(12,482 posts)Ask the women in garment sweat shops or who lose their jobs because they have a sick child at home and nobody to sit with them. Orbwho have to take a low paid job and try to find child care because there husband has been laid off or for that matter the woman who does the same job as a man for less pay. They are all being raped by the system. Male workers are as well. Men and women both began making progress through the new deal and up through the great society. The powers that be in this country began dismantling those schemes under Reagan and have been raping the American worker ever since # the exeptions being a lessening or even slight reversal under Democratic administrations. The ACA is one example.
Yes I believe the systemic rape of the American working class by the wealthy and their corporations is the biggest problem facing American women today. You disagree. Fine. But someone disagreeing with you doesn't mean anyone is trying to tell you what to think.
