The fact that women's wages are starting to approach men's, even if only 77 cents on the dollar, is evidence of how badly women oppress men. Take, for example, the fact that a white man can no longer get a job simply by virtue of being white and male. He actually has to acquire education and experience. That he can't automatically prevail over women more qualified shows just how badly he is oppressed. The world has become so unfair to men, and it's all the fault of women.



Some will even bandy around charts without the integrity--or perhaps educational background--to provide context about the decline of American wages in general. But what they are really pissed off is the fact that women and people of color share in the wealth at all. For them, being a white male means they should be entitled to have everything they want even if can't be bothered to get an education or do anything with their lives. The problem isn't deinustrialization, outsourcing, the decline of unions, or global capitalism's relentless pursuit of cheap labor but the fact that evil women are allowed to hold jobs. Some men long for the days of segregation where 3/4 of the population was excluded from decent jobs simply because of gender or the color of their skin. In addition to being profoundly sexist, their simple minded dogma is highly racist, since what they long for are the days before affirmative action and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. These MRA ideologues are essentially White Male Supremacists.
