3. Black... and a woman. This discrepancy between the wages

is par for the course for most women going into professional positions. I remember when my father thought I was nuts when I turned down an IT job (in the beginning days) that was easily less than half what the guys doing the same work were making. I hung in there and got it raised by about 10k a year, still pretty far behind the guys, especially considering my education and extra "workshop" curriculum (at that time, all that was offered was "Computer Science" -- theory only; no practical application.

This is absolutely infuriating, tho... for this attorney, for me, for every woman. But its what we're going to be able to expect from now on if we don't keep T out of office somehow, and the R's along with him. They want us home... in the kitchen, the bedroom, and the nursery. Period.
