The implication is that diversity of experience/background/culture leads to diversity of thought and diversity of ideas. That's fairly logical and noble goal, but it ignores the idea that that same diversity of interests con

Giving someone an opportunity based on a protected class, which denies that same opportunity to someone else of that protected class, is discrimination. It is treating someone negatively based on their protected class. It's the textb

And what if said young software engineering student reads Bryana's blog post and realizes that Bryana may only have been chosen to speak because she is a woman? What sort of inspiration would that be for other women to join STEM? How

Let's make it more fair: instead of men and women changing jobs, ostensibly causing a great deal of chaos, let's go with a parallel universe where your conditions are already in place. Or even better, let's use industries in

I disagree. Discrimination, both sexism and racism, is any negative treatment towards someone based on protected status, regardless of who is "in power". The critical race theory definition is just a shield to hide behind while pr

All capable employees should be encouraged and incentivized equally, or based on their competence. Incentive based on protected status is discrimination.

Helping people overcome whatever unique problems they face in order to reach their full potential is expected and encouraged. Offering them opportunities solely based on a protected status is not. I reiterate: if the industry sees a glut o

She says she was encouraged to apply and speak at conferences, and that management would campaign for the whole team to attend any conferences where she is accepted to speak. > This may seem like special treatment or in some ways unfair.

You don't get that it's offensive to men to say "teach men not to rape"? What about "teach black people not to murder"? Does that not sound incredibly racist to you? If it does, and I really hope it does, wha

There is a very strong disparity between feminism's words and actions. They call for equality, but in reality use it as a sword to strike at men. http://reason.com/archives/2015/07/23/sexist-scienti
