Working poor women get lip service, but not much else. Feminism seems geared to serve the college educated in a sort of self-inculcating feedback loop.

Go to college, learn about gender inequality, get a job among other college educated feminists, or stay home, raise kids and associate with other college educated feminists and in some cases go on to teach college kids about feminism.
