Comment on wage inequality

Hello,

I love your topic you chose to write about and found it very interesting and informational. One thing that I feel like you should have added was the fact that you mention women in general, women with children and their opportunities the they receive in the work field but you don't mention anything about the discrepancy between white women and women of colour. Some statistics for you; Hispanic or Latina women make 54%, Native American and Alaska Native women make 59%, Pacific Islander women make 62%, and African American women make 63% of what a white man makes. And also women with disabilities make 65% and transgendered women are paid a third less when they transition (American Association of University Women). So in order to truly emphasis the discrepancy of the wage gap I believe you should talk about all aspects of the wage gap not just women vs men. The wage gap isn't necessarily a men vs women issue, it also includes racism, discrimination against disabled people and homophobia.
