Sent you a message regarding this. Cool idea man, I like the tracks.

The argument has never been that it is impossible to rise from poverty. The argument is that it is demonstrably massively unlikely.

Is it?

"Person who takes lunch from the fridge" isn't a protected class as far as I know, and a lot of states are basically "at-will", which means you don't really need a reason to fire anybody at any time.

Speaking of implicit assumptions, your "not the case" is contrasted with your statement of "skills and desire", so you're basically implying that you wouldn't be depressed since this is just a normal occurrence, some women just don't measure up. That's cool.

But that's not what gender gaps talk about. No one is fighting for a female domination over any particular industry. What is being claimed, at least in the suit, has more to do with claims of sexual harassment, and a continuation of sexism and oppression that really was around and quite common until recently. It's less common now, but that doesn't make it any less important to be aware and cognizant of, so you don't fall into the easy trap of assuming that women aren't in positions of power just because they don't want to.

Which compared to the highest percentage cited at 24%, is quite high.
