207. it appears that only the ones that say "more" have links for backup
so when I click the first one, I find:

"The results? 85% of the job offers from high-price restaurants (where wages are correspondingly high) were made to male job applicants. In contrast, 80% of the job offers from low-price, low-wage restaurants were made to women. This is clear evidence of sex discrimination in employment - evidence which might explain how it is that waitresses in the United States are paid only 75% of what waiters make."

Hang on a second. Women got 80% of the job offers? Not less than 50%? According to the OP, it is a male privilege to get most of the job offers AT ALL LEVELS. As far as what waitresses make, that is just a ridiculous stat. A waitperson makes their base rate + tips. They do not say if they are comparing base rates or take home pay.

So the first link contradicts the supposed male privilege #2. Should I keep going?

Plus, it's sad that Susan has been forgotten already
