Thanks for clarifying. It does feel like they're punching down a little, but its a good commentary nonetheless.

"Punching down" is in the eye of the beholder, and kind of supports my point about having empathy in the way you speak. I guarantee that steel workers feel like they got the short end of the stick in life, and that feminist academia is the elite.
