[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Until all economic and social structures of sexism are transformed and the patriarchal mores in our hearts, relationships, and sports teams are converted, there will always be dissent and opposition to hiring processes that eliminate or do not fully vet all qualified candidates.   Calm down.[/quote]

I realize this is not a political discussion board - but I didn;t start the political discussion and this needs responding to.

All human beings are flawed.  The problem is not with men specifically and will not be fixed if all men were replaced with women.  The problem is with the way we have organized our society granting some power over others.  The corrupt seek power, and those who attain power grow in corruption.  In recent history white men have held more power than other groups and so they have been more corrupt, and their corruption has affected many people.  But put black men in charge, or green women, or blue aliens - it will make no difference.  And blaming one group - rather than hierarchical systems in general both misidentifies and actually exacerbates the problem.

Defunding the police is closer to a good solution than simply replacing one group of unjust rulers with another group of rulers who will be equally unjust in turn.  But one cannot defund the police while allowing other power structures to remain in place.  We need to reimagine our society entirely from the ground up - but absolutely NOT in the way that our current politicians appear to be moving.[/quote]
