"were sweet" (Jeffers/Mormon Cult); accepted less pay for same work as men; played dumb so as not to intimidate; etc., etc.

Kelly what in the hell are you saying? What are you lamenting about? That those good old days of silent, obedient "sacred" women are waning? especially silent subservient black women. Oh Kelly, man up and get a backbone, women with opinions and who want equality (PAY) aren't going to hurt you.

This comment of his really bothered me. Especially after a very hard day at work. No, Kelly - don't hold me as sacred - just give me equal pay.
