2) With the proviso that I spent 5 seconds on this after staggering in from work and only read a tiny amount of the page content, I bear out the hypothesis. CIS woman. Chose equality. TBH, I didn't actually look at the different values beyond noticing what was equal and what was unequal.

That said, I don't necessarily think I'd change my answer on further consideration. If there are three of us and $48, why aren't we getting $16 each? There's something inherently suspect about it.

Perhaps the 'me' getting the lower amount in this scenario is black, or a gypsy, or disabled. And then the experiment is repeated 100 times, so that now while we all have more, hypothetical minority me is $400 worse off than Anne.
