He goes immediately to 'system justification' for the existence of inequalities.

It's true he also tries to slide the topic from equal pay for equal work, to one of unequal work--men do 'engineering, etc'

Classic expression of a deep rooted cognitive motivator and he does it in the first seconds of his response.
