Also not equitable here

if an official statement from a subset of their organization represents a specfic idiot then sure

i'm not trying to make a claim that every person in BLM was upset, sorry if that's how i made it seem or how you interpreted it, but i didn't think anyone would jump on it so literally. the point being is that by dissecting which group is more marginalized you're just creating more barriers and separating causes rather than focusing on human rights. not to mention the term "intersectional feminism" is absolutely hilarious in it's own right.

The statistics look at punishment for the same crime. They aren't using the same method as the "Wage Gap" pushers.

well... no. there's data readily available that crunches the numbers and explains the truth behind this "phenomenon" but im not going to derail this thread because that wasn't really the purpose of my initial point. its beating a dead horse at this point anyway.
