every political point of contention has real world consequences for real people. The whole point is that we try to approach fairness from a rational standpoint so that people aren't being treated badly based on their gender, sex or the colour of their skin - and this whole debate centers around whether diversity initiatives are fair because they counteract inherent systemic sexism or if they're actually countering natural gender predispositions and thus being unfair by giving one gender a leg-up over the other.
