History of Feminism

Another example of being dismissive is the whole "what are you going to do to fix it?" question.

Considering that the sexism behind the wage gap is something that affects us all, the question should be "what can WE do to fix it?" It's a problem we should approach as a united group, so that we can create a system that benefits us all.

Otherwise you're just asking an oppressed person what they're going to do about the power structure that refuses them basic human rights. You'd have to have some actual power in order to change it, and saying "what are YOU going to do?" is just rubbing it in. Not to mention it's a pointless question if a certain someone had done some research into feminism first...
