Statistically your wife is unlikely to be in a high paid trades' union.

But I wasn't talking to *you* (personally) or about you. The "you" was rhetorical. I'm sorry *you*- as in you personally, didn't get that. I don't know you. Heck maybe your woman is strapping on a hard hat and using a jackhammer. Unlikely, but possible.

It's nice we have a Black Man as president (wait, are you being non-colorblind there?)...
But that doesn't solve the problems. If you looked at the link I posted to you it has a lot to do with the question. And sure, qualifications are great, but I think Reich's point went to who gets the money- as in "Let's not see it all go to the haves, when the have nots are hurting". Now he used a poor short hand to say that, but the white make angst contingent is huge for Rush, and he plays them like a fiddle, and my response IS different than Rush's, because everything I said happened- or do you want to contest that women could not vote, and black men were slaves, and that women do not make equal pay? And do you want to try to argue that Rush doesn't play on white angst, and especially white MALE angst? (Mr. Feminazi? I think you've got a tough row to hoe there...)

Construction is NOT full of women (except in the offices). You need to take a look at the stats on that.

You thought the post to you was personal. It was not. I don't know you; I don't want to know you. It was just a general point about where we are now, and where we've been, and how tired I am of white men whining. I've NO idea whether you are even white or not, nor do I care.
