I think that today, any fight needs to include as many groups as possible. As the US struggles due to lack of maternity leave, we can't fight just for maternity leave. We must also fight for paternity leave, for without both genders being able to take parental leave, women will be hired less often.
As women continue to fight for equal pay, we must also fight against the stagnation of wages for both genders. Corporate greed is undoing social gains.
Now that unions are essentially out of the picture, and health reform is a mess, both white and blue collar workers face a lack of adequate health coverage. Instead of fighting for the health rights or work benefits of one class, we must fight together.
I am grateful to the strong generations of women before me, but we certainly can't stop. I love that I can work in a career that I find fulfilling as opposed to being relegated to the kitchen, but I also recognize that if I am not careful, my work can become exploitative. I see tons of social progress, but we need to keep on top of so many things. Access to information has greatly sped progress though. Yay technology.
