I love how she complains- and bases her complaint on sexism- about the busboy getting paid more per hour; I've worked as a busboy and a waiter. A waiter ( waitresses make more than waiters, usually) makes at least 4 times as much as the busboy in any decent restaraunt.

Y'know, being a PC fascist and all, I'm not really willing to generalize to all women from this one example. (I mean, there are a lot of men who say dumb things too, I've noticed — our President, as just one example.)
Baumgardner actually (and coincidentally) talks about busboys in her earlier book (Manifesta) and she's pretty clear that their jobs suck.
