> All these women that are being talked about as statistics are real people.
Nobody denies that. However, once you say that there's not enough "equality" of engineers, you invoke statistics.

Think of those poor talented engineers denied a place of work because of "gender quotas"! These engineers have dreams and passions. They aren't just statistics!
See how this works?
> I've learned that it's not us vs them.
Except that's exactly the tactics used by SJWs.
> I've learned that political correctness and reverse-racism/sexism are definitely not a greater problem than sexism and racism themselves.
Reverse sexism is exactly the same problem as sexism.
- jeffrom 9y agoWell it's not. Not objectively. Not in any sense. Only in abstract terms.
- TheLilHipster 9y ago> Not in any sense. Eh? > Only in abstract terms. You want something literal? Lets throw some reverse-VIOLENCE into the mix! I'm going to bash my neighbors head in, because he's "definitely" a violent psychopath (It said so on the internet remember). The heart of the issue is DISCRIMINATION. Doesn't matter if its positive or negative, you're EXCLUDING groups/individuals which is divisive and breeds discontent. Someone posted below > judged by the content and quality of their character rather than some of the variation of an attempt to combat discrimination through discrimination. THAT is equality.
