The Trouble with Diversity by Walter Benn Michaels
Short answer:
So this is actually a much deeper argument then I care to go to on reddit. I'll tell you that I think racial and gender discrimination are smoke screens used by capitalists to keep us focused on diversity as opposed to equality. Class inequality/capitalism is the root cause of racial and gender discrimination so focus on gender wage gaps is just a way to get people to ignore what actually matters, growing wage gaps across society.
For the long answer I like this book which has been heavily critiqued or really any critique of identity politics from a marxist perspective.
