Is parity the answer for Polish women? [262]
"so why do you even use those words?"
- Because the argument you used is a femi-nazi argument. "You're not one of us, thus you don't understand.". It's an elitist, sexist argument, a flawed argument.
"I see the reason for parity in the Polish government, you don't. You talking it way to personally Sky."
- it means we disagree, NOT that I don't understand because I'm a man. I'm not taking this personally at all, it's just a message board.
"It wasn't sarcastic. I merely pointed out that most men are not able to relate to parity issue because they are not women. Simple. That said I am sure you are an expert on many things. "
- Well, is it possible there were white men and women who knew slavery was wrong even when it was still legal? How come? How could they relate? After all, they were white?? Now change the color of one's skin to one's gender and tell me how this is any different?
"parity and stealing are two different things, there is no comparison, how could there be."
- They're exactly the same. Theft. You award a person with a position (money, benefits, etc.) based on what's between his/her legs and not his/her knowledge and experience.
"I don't see parity as a negative, but a positive thing.... Parity in my view has nothing to do with discrimination, why would you even think that?"
- If parity is achieved simply because there were just as many talented and experienced men as women then yes, it's a great thing.
- Today however, parity is a government tool of reverse discrimination, or revenge discrimination. In the US it's achieved via the so called "affirmative action", a term created by the politically correct crowd. In Sweden until very recently the affirmative action was called "positive diskriminering", or "positive discrimination", positive for some (women and minorities) and negative for others (primarily white males).
- Recently the Supreme court struck down several affirmative action laws, for example they can't use it any longer as a school admission criteria. Until recently if a man and a woman applied to a university and both had the exact same grades, let's say a GPA of 3.89 and they scored the same on the entrance exam, the woman would be admitted before the man simply because she was a woman. For years the affirmative action controlled school entrance policies but fortunately it's now been overturned.
- Note, I'm not saying our society is equal, or perfect or that discrimination doesn't exist. It does and it needs to be changed. However, government sponsored discrimination is just as wrong.
