Selenite: Nope... did not say anything about you personally... the subject and your ideals are related ...
You can't separate me from the subject....what i would like is not possible...but the least i can do...is create subjects to try and deal with real problems in modern society...cause very few do this and vast changes are needed systematically across the board

Basically I don't like society at all the way it is and I'm trying to get others to think about real problems we are facing...some may like this...or others like you will do everything you can to mock it...but that is after all what you do best eagle womanwave

LeeCharming: Diversity quotas force employment of women and other races...over white males...this is a fact...been happening a long time and it is systematic discrimination against white males...or are you playing ignorant to the war on white men
May be you're playing ignorant to what caused the 'diversity quotas' to be introduced in the first place?
If all job interviews were conducted with integrity always I doubt 'diversity quotas' would have needed to be invented in the first place.

It's not really a 'war on white men' ... it's an effort to bring diversity to work places where it wasn't happening naturally because of 'white man privilege'.

It's a pity that like with many things managed by humans the pendulums swings the other way to the extend that what was created to bring balance turns into 'them and us' once again ...

The human race will never cease to amaze me

Hey! This must be one of the best pieces you've written! Actually sharing how you feel and why you're starting the subject threads without attacking anyone I thought till I read the last sentence. I take it you don't like my sense of humour laugh

LeeCharming: It's a shame when others can't discuss a subject with maturity and take note of the real problems...over representation can create...some just want to turn a blind eye to it all and deny real issues
It's a shame when you dont acknowledge someone when they do discuss the subject with maturity.

Do you have an official date of when 'positive discrimination/diversity quotas' were introduced in the workforce? Just to give a framework to the discussion?

Are you implying that anyone who responded to the posts that directly related to women were not responding to the subject with maturity?

this is a thread that is designed to shake things up.
i went through a year's mail. i had just dumped it in a box.
when i was going through it, i sorted out the Cosmo magazines. i don't even remember getting a subscription.

anyways, i noticed more than half the cover models were women of color. i also noticed a few months featured chunky cover models.

nothing wrong with it. i just noticed it.

i'm secure in my skinny whiteness

Just because someone's views are different to yours does not make them wrong, or immature.

I didnt say or imply they were. I was replying to Lee's post pointing out that my reply was mature and on topic but he chose not to respond. It had absolutely nothing to do with other posts on this thread.

I still think Lee should address his serious issues. That way he can he can reforge the distorted framewok of his perceptions and thinking.

LeeCharming: In world war 1 and 2....The over representation of men on the battlefields and in filthyrat ridden... trenches was happening...so many many men made the sacrifice...but then you get these women...who say...women need men...like a fish needs a bicycle
War isn't a good example of what women need men for. Even if a fight is sometimes what it takes to clear the air. Women need men so that they don't die of anxiety.

You nailed it, and it is getting worse. And then we complain what happening to our economy
