Hey Jonathan, you write: "A program that takes opportunities away from men by imposing a quota of women to be hired sure feels discriminatory".
Notwithstanding your rationale of "writing past wrongs", it doesn't just "feel" like discrimination ..it is discriminatory by nature. Feminist driven ideologies like yours are themselves inherently biased...in favor of women. It's revenge based, not egalitarian based. If you disagree with this statement, you're just part of the problem & spending too much time in Feminist la-la land.
There's a big, fake push on for more women in STEM...yes?? a historically male field. So...have we seen a big push for more men in Nursing?? How bout early childcare, or social work..Tell you what, I'll make you a deal...When women constitute 50% of workplace deaths, or when I see a girl hanging off the garbage truck rolling down my street in minus 25 degree weather, then I'll be on board with the gender ratio makeup of any particular board of directors. okey doke?
