Document Summary
The three major categories of social analysis which suffer from some sort of inequality; gender, race and class, have one thing in common inequality. maybe the problem is that creating so many categories of. 2 inequality, social analysts have lost track of the central problem of inequality, and primarily focus on inequality in terms of the specified category. However, it is also important to understand that we may not have developed to think of inequality in terms of other categories if we would have not encountered these categories. These examples highlight for the fact that these small victories might satisfy a certain social problem for the time being, but it might remerge once it becomes what joan acker says visible inequality. this is one of the major problems in understanding inequality as wider phenomena than just fixed categories within each other.
