(9,409 posts)29. her opinion isn't at issue
Everyone has a right to an opinion and has the right to express that opinion. My only issue is that the point of origin was a little obtuse. I care a great deal more about the paycheck of the 99% income bracket of women out there than I do the 1%.
I'm sure the 10's of thousands of women and men for that matter, that have been screaming about income inequality for decades can at least take solace in that at least now some people are listening.
Stop waiting for a politician or movie star to fix the problem. There are millions of us and we can effect change.
