The articles this week are all excellent examples of women being suppressed by social systems that promote inequality. They easily lay out the inequalities that women face in this country in the workplace.
While the article I particularly liked was the argument of the minimum wage be increased to $10.10 an hour, along with a tip job minimum of 70% of that, it is time that not only Matt Rose see that waitressing and minimum wage jobs take skill that has not been compensated for since the increase in industry during the 70's and 80's. The statistics don't lie on how these jobs have not increased pay as the profits and economy's inflation has expanded.
The articles that addressed the double inequality of black mothers, and the black women who were effected by Katrina, and their lost history, they show the public the inequalities of their world, and assist in making this world a better place for everyone. The ideas of blaming the poor for their problem are not going to go away without informing those who might not be exposed to it.
