[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys can debate ethics or profit motive all you want. But a practical result of boys/young men feeling personally disadvantaged in specific situations very likely could be resentment towards those policies, whatever their provenance. I am not saying this makes them incels or justifies red pill culture, but on a human level it is understandable to feel it is 'unfair'. [/quote]

Then that’s the answer for OP. Teach your sons to be critical thinkers, who are able to move past emotional and illogical knee-jerk reactions. Feeling “personally disadvantaged” by for-profit companies acting…[i]for-profit[/i]…is going to be a very painful way to go through life and yes absolutely will lead to resentment and bitterness, even if it isn’t targeted at women.[/quote]

Somehow you think that the profit notice erases the fact that people can be “personally disadvantaged” or that it doesn’t matter somehow? That’s not critical thinking at all. [/quote]

Did these boys feel individually disadvantaged by every firm that only recruited out of higher-tier colleges? They disadvantaged all 20 of them.

Did they feel individually disadvantaged by every internship at the firm that was given to the child of a donor, an executive, or a contact?

Or do they only feel disadvantaged because the firm made the choice to recruit girls as well as boys?

If they’re choosing to resent women in the context of all the other people who didn’t give them internships than no, they’re not remotely critical thinkers. [/quote]

Pretty sure that all of that is unethical, sure. Of course people feel disadvantaged by all of that. This isn’t either/or. [/quote]
Women have, for thousands of years, been disadvantaged.  Cry me a river.[/quote]

But that was a bad thing, right? So then it is bad to do the same to men. Especially since these men are not responsible for any of that history.[/quote]
Somehow you’re trying to say that men are disadvantaged in this society? If so, you are drinking the [b]red pill [/b]koolaid. [/quote]

Red pill has nothing to do with genders. You misunderstand the Matrix meaning behind it. Watch "The Matrix" 1999.[/quote]
Uh you need to update your references, we aren’t in the 1900s anymore. Words evolve and take on new meaning, as red pill has.[/quote]
