Same goes for white activists. Nobody gave a rats that some of our most critical positions where starting to get occupied by unqualified applicants in the name of 'equality' until they started pushing back at it.
On the other hand, I guess it is perfectly okay that our young men are failing behind because the feminist movement.
Sorry Peck, these 2 are 100% white male horseshit and texpbook example of what PD is talking about.
And women are performing better than men in school after lagging behind for the entire 10,000 years of human civilization.... and it's now a national tragedy to be laid at the feet of women? Get over yourself!
We get all excited when females aren't represented equally in some field, engineers, say, but don't give a shit about all the males left behind by our educational system. Saying that turnabout is fair play is idiotic. That should be a concern for anybody with half a brain - men left behind tend to do nasty things in society, including to women. This is a valid area of concern, and takes away nothing from concerns where women are still excluded for some reason. OTOH, if women are just self-excluding, let it be. We don't give a shit about the small number of male nurses or primary school teachers - well most people don't.
As for unqualified applicants, we did have say firefighters making different tests for women and men - makes no sense in that case, since the job is the same for everybody. There should be one standard, and if women have trouble meeting it, too bad. Don't know if this sort of bullshit still continues.
OTOH, for policing for example, reducing height and strength restrictions to open the field to more women and minorities made perfect sense, since being a cop is about a lot more than just being a tough guy.
And lastly, it does make sense, in a field where a gender or race is under represented, out of a field of equally qualified candidates, choose the ones that are underrepresented. But don't initiate tokenism.
