Reply #28: I'd say that's quite a stretch. [View All]

The OP makes reference to women being part of the 99%, and does not support your inference. Women are more likely to live in poverty and less likely to be among the super-rich; thus, the OP is correct that women are part of the 99%.

Also, your supposition that women make up 'probably' half of the 1% is not supported. Taking a quick look at the Forbes list of the wealthiest Americans, it looks to be closer to ten to one, at least among the top 100.

Most people are part of the 99%, regardless of gender. However, I don't think it's wrong to include this aspect of institutionalized inequity in the discussion.
