Equal access and equal rights. Of course. Meritocracy fully supports that. And 100 years ago, that meant more women needed a leg up. In modern society though, it has, again, gone too far, and now men are very openly being discriminated against.

Yes, discrimination is now happening both ways, which has been quite the surprise to some people.

That doesn't make it right

we need to stop fighting on federal level for a lot of these things and put that power back to the states

See, all this society stuff really sucks. Really should just go back to Paleolithic caveman times /s

Meritocracy, at its core, hates discrimination in all its forms. Because discrimination is the act of taking away that equal starting point that everyone deserves in a balanced, merit based society.

Oh, you mean there's a 10th Amendment, @Grenade123 ?

You'd never know it

XD

Yes, the 10th ammendment, that gives us all the right to go back to Peleolitich caveman times. 👍

we have a Constitution? Since when?

If you ever want to see how trucks can be driven through loopholes, just watch the traffic flying past the interstate commerce clause

Wait, so people haven't realized it's a false flag?

oh well

realized? you mean are pushing its not

What's a false flag this time?

No evidence of such

The revolutionary war was a British false flag, we’re still British colonies

So back to feminism and meritocracy.

Had to go old skool on that one. 😛

So we agree women should be able to vote and attend public school. Do we agree that they should have equal access to university programs and the professions?

Equal access, yes. Not equal representation.

All these things have been flaming feminist causes within the past 100 years

@DrYuriMom i'm afraid the people of our fair country don't understand the importance of freedom of association and why giving power to the states helps protect that freedom and allows everyone to get along better. They would instead rather be ignorant and let nefarious of just straight up idiotic people erode that right and cement authoritarian power in the federal government.

I never said equal representation. I said equal access.

Modern feminisms are demanding equal representation. That's where my complaint of them stems from, and why I say modern feminists are in contradiction to meritocracy.

Personally, I think applications should be given numbers and cleansed of race and sex identifiers. Then decisions get made by committees that are blinded to that data.

they tried that, didn't it end up being sexist AND racist

There are feminists and there are feminists, sir

"sexist" and "racist"

just like Amazons bot learned "female" was somehow "bad" for the job

@Grenade123 and @DrYuriMom - Yes they did try that. They went a step beyond, they tried it with a computer that specifically was not told the sex or race of any applicants. The amazon bots example was only one of the more recent/more heavily publicized times that this occured.

No surprise I'm a woman. I'm college educated and a professional with board certification and a license to practice in several states. I'm kinda attached to my achievements but they were all based on merit. My tests were the same as the boys and I rocked them.

I'm glad I had the opportunity to achieve this

100 years ago, I might not have

So to the feminists of days past, I raise a glass

I served

Rightly so. I'm glad to have you here on their behalf. But don't compare those feminists to modern feminists.

who is that feminist that used to pal around with Milo from time to time

50 years ago, I would not have been able to except as a nurse in some sidelines fakeshit service

Yea, old feminism is alright, neo-feminism is pretty shit
