| Jan 1, 2016 at 3:20 | comment | added | Pharap | This is exactly why I get fed up with all these people who say 'your staff should contain x number of females'. People should be let in on merit, not because of some discriminatory 'equal oportunities' system. If there aren't enough females of high merit then that's a failing elsewhere in the system. | |

When you look at the idea of "women and minorities", they make up the vast majority of people, so they really should act like it. Ignore the arrogant people, stop supporting them, withdraw, and create a better world. If they complain at being ignored, smile weakly. | |
| Dec 30, 2015 at 11:51 | comment | added | ff524 | Your second paragraph reminds me of a time when a fellow student in my undergrad cohort, who happened to be a disabled war veteran, pulled me aside and told me how impressed he was that I was studying engineering and at the top of our class, despite being a woman! In my head I was thinking "Gee, and I'm really impressed with you for going back to college and doing ok, being disabled and all! Bravo! (Do you feel condescended to yet?)" But I try to be a nice person, so I just smiled weakly. | |
