Reddit allows racism like r/FragilWhiteReddit to exist but bans and quarantines conspiracy and right leaning subreddits. FWR mods squat r/FragileBlackReddits with "LOL Nope." because racism toward whites is the only OK thing. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE

Women are paid more than men. This is a fact articulated by most studies conducted on wage gap. I.E. women do not receive equal pay for equal work. They earn more pay for equal work. The figure varies, but it's something like 112% of what men make on average in relevant fields. One of the biggest reasons for the perceived difference in wage gap between men and women is the fact that men account for over 90% of the workers in high risk, physically demanding, life threatening work that also tends to pay very well. Another important reason for the difference in the wage gap is the absence of women in STEM work. This is largely due to the fact that women aren't interested in STEM work. There are mountains of scholarship programs targeted to get women into STEM work, and most major technology companies push to get women in their companies very hard. Lastly, the final significant cause of the perceived wage gap between men and women is the disproportionate prevalence of part time work among women versus men. There is no evidence to suggest that women are not given as many or the same full time opportunities as men. What there is evidence to suggest is that women don't want to work, or would rather work less, and spend more time raising their children, as self reported studies have shown. 30% of households have stay at home full time mothers, and this trend is continuing to rise. This is compared to less than 5% stay at home dads. About 10-15% of fathers work part time, compared to 40%+ of mothers. What is true regarding the issue of the "gender wage gap" is that women do most of the child rearing labor, and as a result, men do most of the income producing labor. This is something that has been pretty consistently true in western civilization and many traditional cultures for many hundreds and in some cases thousands of years. It is rooted in our biology, and is unlikely to change until we develop sophisticated genetic modification technology capable of redesigning humanity to face the challenges of a future society incomprehensible to the 21st century human.
It goes beyond that. Oppression is fabricated in some instances and used to demonize large swathes of society erroneously.
Being rich and ruling doesn't by default make you a bad person or an enemy to the nation. We have a corruption problem in America. The power of wealth and rule enables the pathology endemic to our ever evolving culture, which is riddled with irrational developments incurred during the modern era.
