Blue, White or Pink, we all wear collars

I found that chapter 6 showed an ugly side of American stratification.  Though it has been seen throughout history, I truly believe that we are coming to a point where women are seen as equal in society, which in my opinion should've happened a long time ago.  On that note, I do not believe in gender essentialism.  Women can do anything a man can do, short of urinating standing up, and I am probably mistaken there even.  CNN was constantly talking about the controversy around letting women participate in active duty in the military, which I find completely proposterous, because I know women that could make the taliban run in fear.  Not even kidding.  On a different note, I found the charts and graphs in chapter 6 to be a little hard to understand.  It could've just been me, but still.  Overall, a very inciteful chapter.
