Against the advice of my therapist, i'll set the record straight again.
That was implied by the use of "acknowledged". Were you not aware of that, or did you feel the need to crow a little more?
Cuz it's fun to crow. Come correct next time.
I am not aware of how stating that neither of us has the calculation for a confounding factor, when we both acknowledge the existence of it, is anything other than straight-forward.
Again, I'll let the audience decide whether the confounds of senate vs. congress with respect to barriers to being elected are equal. If they are, I'm curious to hear your hypothesis on why there are
currently more female senators in the United States than there have been black senators in
all of American history (even when you control for population size, the discrepancy is palpable).
In fact, here's a challenge--
I challenge you to find social metrics/outcomes where white women fare worse than black people (or black men, whatever makes this comparison easier for you).
Even before I get into the mechanism and the historical mechanisms of oppression that black people have faced and continue to face, if your point is true then we should easily be able to find examples of this. You mentioned congress, that was quickly discredited. Please provide more examples, and we can go through them one by one. Think of when every civil right was earned by white women, in comparison to black people. Think of the histories of oppression that white women have faced, in comparison to black people.
Here's a compilation of some in context of the workplace--

Or, use these interactive charts to see which strata of SES black boys vs. white girls find themselves in

These all point towards the same reality-- the power of black discrimination is stronger than the power of gender discrimination, with evidence pointing to the outcomes of white women vs those of black men.
Here's more data from the EPI:

I see. You could not find a paper directly supporting your claim, you listed a paper not making that claim, and said it was an obvious manifestation.
This will be addressed in the next retort.
I know a narrower one. The level where you think there is some sort of research on which disadvantaged groups suffer more from their specific group identity than other disadvantaged groups, and claim that this knowledge is so commonly understood in the academic community that asking for evidence is equivalent to denying climate change.
See you round the water cooler.
A good start would be to start with this novel, and reading the preface--
https://books.google.ca/books?hl=en&lr=&id=vH-XtO1XAFUC&oi=fnd&pg=PR7&dq=racial+oppression+in+america&ots=ZKHJG_d1YN&sig=_YZmgmfzG3aQdt2BxfOyLdr8RM4#v=onepage&q=racial oppression in america&f=false [Title: Still the Big News: Racial Oppression in America, 2001].
The thesis of this is that race is the
central social reality of the United States, pure and simple. It goes through the epistemology of this, although it doesn't go through the mechanics on how it numerically differs from gender (though this can be cross referenced with the studies alluded to above).
I think your posts allude to some of the ideas associated with critiquing the "hierarchy of oppression", whereby we ought to look at how oppression takes many forms, as opposed to trying to rank oppressions against eachother. The idea is a good one-- because it is believed (and I'd agree) that oppression must be fought on every axis in order to be able to defeat white supremacy, or the patriarchy, or heteronormativity.
The problem with this, is that white feminism (historically a tool of oppression against black people) weaponizes this to the extent where white women have made gains since the 60s, whereas black men and women haven't. The proof is in the pudding-- of all dimensions of oppression, if you look at the outcomes seen in some of the links I've posted, groups of people where which white people compose a majority (white women, white LG communities) have generally made the most progress.
Here's a good post summarizing black feminist critiques of Second Wave Feminism, namely those appropriating Lorde's words regarding the hierarchy of oppression:

But, you wanted a paper that addresses the mechanistic differences between the oppressions-- here is an example:

---
I think I've provided enough information for you to glean that oppression rooted in race is stronger than oppression rooted in gender. If you don't agree, and don't think that what I've shared with you does a good enough job explaining this, (in my opinion) that says more about you than it does about what I've shared.
Take care.
