4. Capitulation is not a solution.

If the issue is about equitable pay for a given occupation, the term "women" should not occur. That's because it's not about women, but workers of all genders, ethnicities and sexual orientations.

If the problem is that a large percentage of workers, and your implication is that they are male, are primarialy interested in struggling for resources that are artificially constrained by the wealthy, do you think it is wise to treat them as adversaries? Don't you think it would be better to figure out a way to make everyone more money than arguing about whether or not they like you?

When Bob climbs back down into the hole, would you bandage his hand, or punch his lights out?
