    One of the first unions that really stuck in the US was the International Ladies’ Garments Workers Union, which started in response to the Triangle Shirtwaist fire.

    Yes, some traditionally male lead industries were shitty towards women, but your sweeping generalization is wrong.

        This is the claim.

        Unions have always had issues with women.

        One strike from one union 80 years ago when cultural attitudes were entirely different has no bearing on that claim.

            List them all then. It won’t matter. The plural of anecdote isn’t data. The one example you gave is clearly the exception that proves the rule, otherwise you wouldn’t have to go back 80 years to when pretty much every public institution mistreated and disrespected women.

            You are not an honest actor, and I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. It sucks that assholes seem to worm their way into every corner of the Internet.
