Delighted to recommend this jewel of a thread. Threads like these are the reason I stay.

In the worldwide classwar, there's one group guaranteed to be at the bottom internationally and that's women.

This is what class war looks like, where the cuts fall unequally on women and children and become issues that affect women.
