[quote=Anonymous][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]

Misogyny at its finest. Why WOULDN'T women also want to do labor-intensive work?[/quote]

Because it is labor intensive, back breaking work.

Let me know when women makeup 50% of all fatalities on the job.  That’s when we will achieve true gender equality in the workplace. Given that men basically makeup 95% (give or take one or two percent) of all workplace deaths, you’ve got a lot of catching up to do in another area of gender equality in the workplace ladies.
