I think it's a bit disingenuous to imply the commenter above thinks "centuries of active discrimination is not the main problem". From what I can tell, they were suggesting that programs trying to actively balance gender/race/cultural/etc ratios do more harm than good. If they didn't care for the _goal_ of rectifying gender/race/cultural/etc discrimination, they probably wouldn't be posting in a thread about it. Your comment is a bit like the reaction one gets when suggesting maybe the department of education is a flawed institution: "So, you don't want children to be educated?"
