I agree, but only as long as the end result is the best candidate for the job being hired. Granting special consideration to a group is just as bad as shutting them out.

As a man I face this reality all the time and it sucks. * It becomes impossible for society to measure progress in terms of the overall moral compass. "Are people only hiring women because they are forced to?"
