For the record: Women have an excellent track record in the labour movement

Commented this elsewhere, but I think it deserves its own post. Edit: deleting irrelevant point Women have an excellent track record with labour protests. I'm already expecting some issues (read: horrible DMs) by mentioning women. But, just as the working class gives up power by political ideology, so too is it divided by gender (and, by extension, sexism). A lot of people on the left like to think misogyny is only an issue on the right. In my experience that is not the case. Leftists also have this issue. For example: there is good reason not to vote for neoliberal and corporatist democrats in the U.S. But the choice to vote 3rd party often doesn't take into account the perspectives of women.

My bf is an underpaid accountant (usually accountants make at least $70,000 in our area) who works at a business with extremely racist coworkers and he didn't think about looking for a new job because he's been building his way up to be CEO since that business's CEO is all about him, but his curiosity to see how other jobs in the local area pay compared to his job and why he keeps getting emails from businesses on indeed has pushed him to actually look at new jobs.
