[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was sitting in a management meeting at my company earlier this month.

14 white men. 1 Black man. Two women. It was ridiculous. Those men are not more talented than all the people in the office.

It is like a PP said. Whiny white men who have had every opportunity now don't like it when they have to compete. They always want the finger on the scale in favor of them.

Black males are 6% of the population.   One black guy out of 17 people = 6% of the representation.  That's exactly on par with the demographics of the country, so what are you complaining about.

I also don't hear you whining about lack representation of women in fields like fishing, logging, oil rig work, etc.  You know, the most dangerous and hazardous jobs on the planet.  Your beef is that women don't have more representation in cushy white collar jobs with high pay and low risk. It would be better to be honest and admit first you don't want true equality across employment.  You just want more female representation in very specific roles and sectors where jobs are easier, safer, and less labor intensive.  [/quote]

Are women welcomed in those professions? Be honest.[/quote]

Oh, because I'm suuuure the primary issue with very tough, labor intensive jobs is that they aren't safe spaces for women. It couldn't possibly be that women don't like to do those jobs *because* they're tough, labor intensive and dangerous.

Just be honest......all of this equity talk is a joke. You okay want equity in the cushy, white collar, high paying jobs, not across fields though that require back breaking work that's dangerous and yet the county still needs to function. [/quote]

Have you ever read accounts about women who try to break into male dominated fields?

Sure, if there are jobs that you need particular strength to perform, then it's not a surprise that fewer women will be aiming for those jobs. If women can perform them then they should be welcome into those fields.

But what a crock to say women avoid tough, labor intensive, and dangerous jobs. Have you ever looked to see who are doing those back-breaking health care jobs? You really want to say that those aren't labor intensive and tough or even dangerous (how many health care people died from covid during the first year of the crisis?). Do you know what it's like to have to turn bed-ridden patients over? What about women who do all the nasty cleaning jobs - would you want to do those? Especially for such paltry salaries.[/quote]
