Frame portions of your arguments or demands in a way that includes that issue even if it is not your key focus

If, for example, you feel you are being overworked and disrespected and if you also know your boss is sensitive about the fact that the men in the office are paid a higher salary for identical work, you may want to frame portions of your arguments or demands in a way that includes that issue even if it is not your key focus.

Could anyone explain the words in blue? If possible, please illustrate.

For example, Tom, Dick, Herry are in the office. They are all junior IT programmers.

Say, They are paid $5,000 each, but I just get paid $3000.

What does "frame portions of your arguments or demands mean?

What does "it is not your key focus" refer to? The payment or what?


Thanks
