I was thinking of a way to say it without hurting any feelings and you did that perfectly.
In Kuwait, people went through what the technology industry is going through now. People were so up in arms about women not being treated fairly that the women have been compensated so much people are complaining the other way around now. A man was running against a woman for a government position and his slogan against her was "Was she elected despite being a woman or because she is a woman?" That struck a chord with a lot of people and he annihilated her at the polls.
- vowelless 14y agoI was in Kuwait for the 09 elections when women were first elected to the parliament. What was the incident you talk about? Additionally, high castes in India frequently complain about the government mandated reservations for low castes and other minorities (example, at the IIT [1]). I remember there was a year when the low caste positions went vacant just because they were reserved for them, while qualified high caste students were rejected.
