>sure, people may give you crap, but there’s nothing structural working against you Except rapidly creeping D&I policies which explicitly discriminate against white men? >Ah yes, white moderate men, the historically oppressed population, beaten down by years of hardship This line of reasoning is a toxic non-sequitur. The fact that white men weren't "oppressed" historically does not mean that they are incapable of being oppressed now or should not be allowed to make such claims. Especially when you consider that even if "straight white men" are in power, the policies of that managing minority can absolutely skew our institutions against the rest who aren't in management. Which, by the way, is the entire point of D&I, so it's incredibly dishonest to pretend that oppression isn't happening when the oppressors are overtly trying to "level the playing field" by reducing/denying opportunity to this demographic. You don't get to pretend that these policies aren't oppressive/discriminatory just because you agree with them, but that's what proponents are absolutely doing. And without pushback there's nothing stopping an overcorrection, which metrics indicate is already happening, since no one is bothered by a team that is 100% "diverse" (i.e. zero white males).
