I dunno... I'd almost argue that we're back to fighting for a lot of what the second wave fought for. At least, a lot of that wasn't ever accomplished or has gone backwards significantly.

Yep, I mean watch The Handmaid's Tale for crying out loud.  That's pretty much where we are now.

A lot of big name 2nd wave femminists turned out to be very transphobic, what was her stance on trans rights?

This is important stuff, like Lincoln's views on communism.

I remember back on old Languish I told you the earnings gap would shrink as all the boomers, who grew up under the old system, retired or died. Since that conversation it has closed by more than 10%. So that is something.

Um.. .It's still 70/30, give or take... And the Boomers are no longer the largest generation.

No it isn't. It is 80/20. That is a 12% increase as it was 68/32 at the time.

It is hard to cheer somebody up who does not even check the facts.

Yep, you're right. And it looks like the younger generations are coming up quicker than the older generation, so there's something to your theory.
