I was surprised to see that the article says that "straight white males" would be the beneficiary of continuing to fail to post salary ranges. I understand the white male part, but I don't understand the straight part.
Could someone enlighten me here?
- Viliam1234 5y agoIt's probably just a memorized phrase -- the archetypal boogeyperson for the politically correct -- that author's fingers typed automatically, without thinking whether it actually makes sense in this context. Discrimination against women makes sense. Discrimination against non-whites makes sense. But how specifically is the interviewer supposed to find out the sexual orientation? Maybe indirectly, by asking about marital status (in countries without gay marriage), but is that even legal? Also, many straight while males are not married, especially the young ones.

It's a lever to get the bourgeoisie to make changes. If you question it, then you're some sort of -ist, e.g. racist, sexist, etc. Woe be to thee who is on the wrong side of wokeness.
