So, if I can show (adverse) differences in opportunity, then affirmative action for women would be accepted?

If you can show it to the legislature, yes. In some of these cases (like the motherhood penalty), AA laws would likely not help but alternative legislation has been considered.

I think we agree that something should be done. I was addressing your specific comment which suggested that the problems faced by poor black americans are the same as the problems faced by upper-middle-class white female americans.
