Feminism and Diversity

And unlike the gender gap, race gaps are manifestly uncompensated. That is, ethnic minorities possess nothing like the female's sexual capital, which compels many a man to surrender his bonus pennies, together with the rest of his dollar, as quickly as they're earned. To ignore such moments is analogous to ignoring that the slave serves the master and concluding from the former's greater consumption of food (servitude's fuel) that the slave has the advantage.

Indeed, overall gender inequality, by the only non-arbitrary measure (fecundity, which, as mother of all desires, reigns regardless of whether we list it among our goals), is an obvious impossibility. That's why it is precisely in patriarchies that we find, if we care to look, males at the bottom. And the more extreme the patriarchy, the more miserable is the omega male's state in relation to the female. But instead, we focus on the top: the maned idler the exploiter of lioness industry, ignoring that the typical male lion not only commands no harem, but, betrayed even by his own mother, is denied by the patriarch-female alliance even a decent opportunity to hunt. It is similar with humans, for instance prisons teeming with predominantly male slave labor, an issue we'll get to once every fabricated category of wage labor earns exactly as much per head as its negative.

Then again, there is an elephant in the room. It isn't any of the infinite subclasses of wage labor we may pit in jealous opposition to each other, dividing per chance to conquer. It is rather the class that, besides wage laborers, defines wage labor: the capitalist. He (the masculine pronoun is deliberate, rent's gender gap putting that of work to shame), who, in his capacity as capitalist, does no work, thereby "earns" infinitely more per quantum of work (the general form of the feminist "for equal work&quot than the wage laborer or any of the subcategories we may impose upon wage labor. What's the same, the wage laborer earns 0 cents to the capitalist's dollar per quantum of work.

And unlike stances on issues, in which one's stock of stances is as inexhaustible as it is impotent, movements must be economical. Time and effort spent cannibalizing our fellow workers' wages on the basis of random trait inequity is time and effort not spent reclaiming that vast part of our product that hides in profits. In times of chattel slavery, the abolitionist does not bother about the quantity of food received by the female chattel in relation to the male. The abolitionist does not accuse the master of prejudicial notions of female productivity relative to male. The abolitionist does not theorize that the female slave draws too gingerly from the trough as a result of low esteem owing to the subordinate status of women in African societies. The abolitionist is too busy being an abolitionist. Be an abolitionist.
