Everyone can be an example, though not always a positive one. Here’s our old differently-winged friend seascraper:
Impression of E.[Warren] after convention: full of herself.
Definitely full enough to make this a campaign issue and lose even more of the white male vote. Who is supposed to pay for all this “fairness” besides male employees?

I’d agree. It doesn’t seem that he is though — there are plenty of folks (men!) who don’t want to risk their ill-gotten gains by supporting fairness. After all, fairness is far more attractive when you get the short shrift than when you get the lion’s share.

Some selected stats from BLS Median weekly earnings of full-time wage and salary workers by occupation and gender posted by Johnk, including ones I found most surprising based on women’s experience in a field.
Median weekly earnings of full-time wage and salary workers
Total: Men $832 Women $684
Human resources managers: Men $1,488 Women $1,273
Professional and related occupations: Men $1,211 Women $919
Some of the most surprising:
Community and social service counselors: Men $906 Women $772
Education, training, and library occupations Men $1,109 Women $869
Physical therapists: Men $1,522 Women $1,216
Nursing, psychiatric, and home health aides: Men $502 Women $446
Let’s not get mired in the “war” war of words.
These numbers can break your heart and are a crime against half of humanity.
that is, you can’t make things better for everyone, just for some at the expense of others.
If the rising tide lifts your boat, it must be at the expense of mine.
If you have freedom to marry, it must hurt mine. Somehow.
Etc.
“you can’t make things better for everyone, just for some at the expense of others”
And we all know who’s who.
