Via The Atlantic, The Occupy Movement’s Women Problem:
“I’m called ‘that white bitch who gets everything she wants’ at the GA’s,” says Elise Whitaker, 21, adopting a bit of a defiant posture. She’s been at Occupy LA since the second week of the encampment….During the very first week of the Occupation in LA I noticed that the gender breakdown in its General Assembly (GA) and various committee meetings was roughly the same as the within the U.S. Congress.

It was the same with the people who slept in the camp.This is pretty consistent throughout the movement in general.
