That's an interesting point. Ayers is no anarchist, but it would be fair to say that he and Goldman are/were lifelong activists. Even better was the context of the comparison: "You don't know who Emma Goldman is, do you--because teachers are paid so much less than plumbers". If there is a feminist slant here, maybe it's because teaching--still seen as women's work in some circles--and plumbing--definitely a "guy" occupation--are paid accordingly.
