Ah, yes, but for the deleterious impact of the feminist movement, women of the class who hire immigrant nannies and maids from Haiti, Jamaica, etc. and, say, sit on the boards of big multinational corporations today would be employing the same immigrant nannies and maids and organizing charity balls for worthy genteel causes. If it were not for affirmative action due to the feminist movement, the civil rights movement, etc., they wouldn't even have to import Haitian and Jamaican immigrant nannies and maids at all -- they would be giving all such jobs to US-born Black nannies and maids. -- Yoshie
