massively up. There’s something seriously wrong with that.”Doug, 1997
‘It’s unfortunate that such material progress for women … has
come amidst a general stagnation of incomes, and a sharp and steady erosion of
white men’s paychecks … But anyone who uses these figures to promote a Limbaughesque agenda of white guy ressentiment will find himself
under an LBO fatwa.’
Are these supposed to be inconsistent or contradictory? I don’t see
it; perhaps you could explain.
