dazzybee Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Fight Club got it right. It's the worst time in the history of the world to be a white working class man! Simple as that. Fact is, this QUICK FIX mentality of bringing the 'numbers' up to an equal footing is an abolute disgrace. It's happening in my work (film) and it even happens in crucuial jobs like emergency services and hospitals etc. Doctors for fuck sake! GET THE BEST PEOPLE IN, NOT MAKE UP THE NUMBERS SO THEY LOOK FAIR!!! It's terrible and simply doesn't work. It won't make MORE women want to be business people, it will just FAVOUR the ones who already do, and thus completely unfair for everyone else. This should be a LONG TERM plan, start at a young age. Make women WANT to start businesses and make films and be doctors and police officers, inspire them when they are young. If more of them wanted to do these things the numbers would even themselves out!! But no; fuck that; lets improve those stats NOW so it all looks fair!! It's bullshit!! Why should my work colleague have more of a chance at 'making it' in life, getting more funding for everything, more opportunities to showcase their work etc. Just because she's female? We both work hard, we're both had the same upbringing, we're both at a similar level financially etc etc. Like I said, these schemes are papering over some admittedly big cracks; but isn't actually doing anything 'good' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
