If I said that being black is a greater 1______ than being a woman, probably no one would 2______ me. Why? Because"we all know" there is 3______ against black people in America. That there is prejudice against women is an idea that still 4______ nearly all men -and, I am afraid, most women-as 5______.
Women have not even reached the level of 6______ that blacks are reaching. No women sit 7______ the Supreme Court. Only two have held Cabinet rank,and 8______ do at present.Only two women hold 9______ rank.But women predominate in the lower-paying, menial,10______, dead-end jobs, and when they do reach better positions, they are 11______ paid less than a man for the same job. If that is not prejudice, what would you 12______ it? A few years ago, I was talking with a political leader about a promising young woman as a 13______."Why invest time and 14______ to build the girl up?"he asked me. "You know she'll only 15______ of the game to have couple of 16______ just about the time we're ready to run her for 17______.”
