Thank you, here we agree on mostly everything except I don't think WAI and similar organizations 'should be ceased'... Mainly because they are open to both genders and I actually got my interview right after attending one of their conferences... I was welcomed even though I'm a man... I think it's ok to 'focus' on and encourage specific groups as long as it's not discriminatory and mandated by the government...
However, it's such a shame that today we are one of very few countries in the world where revenge-discrimination is part of our law…
That's what I'm against, the government getting involved in the hiring programs of private and public businesses... I do believe that racism, sexism, discrimination, etc. to a certain degree still exist but I don't think discriminating in the opposite direction solves the problem...
