Class oppression is a different, though related, issue, and I agree miners should have been (and should be) paid far more. I think you'll find, though, that there have been plenty of high-status male intellectuals and academics with humanities degrees, and was Classics undevalued when it was the default degree at Oxford? If you think the devaluing of service professions has nothing to do with gender, you obviously have far more reading to do before it's worth continuing this discussion.
