Despite the women’s movement in the 70s, women still don’t receive equal pay for equal work. Obviously, any attempt to change the status quo is not going to succeed.
Appeal to pity
Non sequitur
Appeal to authority
Hasty generalization
And you think it's ??

You said I'm a jerk. Jerks don't give good answers -- so I'm not going to try to help you any more.
The question is asking which logical fallacy is being used in the statement: "Despite the women’s movement in the 70s, women still don’t receive equal pay for equal work. Obviously, any attempt to change the status quo is not going to succeed."
To determine the logical fallacy, we need to examine the argument made in the statement.
1. Appeal to pity: This fallacy would involve using emotions or sympathy to support a conclusion. However, the statement does not appeal to pity; it simply presents a fact and a conclusion.
2. Non sequitur: This fallacy refers to a conclusion that does not logically follow from the premises. In this case, the conclusion that "any attempt to change the status quo is not going to succeed" does not necessarily follow from the previous statement about women's pay not being equal. Therefore, this fallacy does not apply.
3. Appeal to authority: This fallacy occurs when someone uses the opinion of an authority figure as evidence to support a claim. However, there are no statements in the given statement that rely on the opinion of an authority figure.
4. Hasty generalization: This fallacy involves making a general claim based on insufficient evidence or a small sample size. In this case, the statement generalizes the lack of equal pay for women based on the observation of the women's movement in the 70s. However, this may not be representative of the current state or future possibilities. Therefore, this fallacy could be applicable in this scenario.
Based on the analysis, the most fitting logical fallacy in the statement is hasty generalization. It assumes that the lack of equal pay for women in the past means that any future attempt to change the status quo will not succeed, without considering other factors or possibilities.
