The Irish just went full retard - Legalizing gender discrimination

RE: The Irish just went full retard - Legalizing gender discrimination
can you give an explanation for the very nearly universal height imbalance in government positions that is not rooted in discrimination against dwarfs?

In point of fact, I can. Dwarfism accounts for about 1/40 000 people worldwide. Therefore, I would expect dwarfs to hold approximately .0025% of available management positions. Females, on the other hand, account for roughly 50% of the population of Ireland. Thus, when women hold only one in five available management positions, I am forced to wonder what else is at play.

Pool, can I ask if you have ever been asked, at a job interview, whether you have, or intend to have children? For that matter has any male member here?

So here you made up a theory that the number of dwarfs in the population is proportional to the number of dwarfs found in management positions hence why there are so many less dwarfs in management positions.

Quote:Females, on the other hand, account for roughly 50% of the population of Ireland. Thus, when women hold only one in five available management positions, I am forced to wonder what else is at play.

And here you disprove your own theory as the number of women in the population isn't proportional to the number of women in management positions.

Your reasoning is hence proved false.

So let's try again Boru, why are dwarfs underrepresented in management positions? Is there a discrimination in play here? Let's hear your thoughts.

You can't be that obtuse.

He can be and is that stupid. Given the bunch of tulips running the country, there's a lot of stuff he could say the country is gone full retard over (the continuing series of clusterfucks from burning the citizenry to spare the bondholders comes to mind). But instead he complains about an attempt to balance the obvious and serious gender gap in the higher echelons of the civil service.

The thought of having the boys club busted up only sends those boys who know they'll be the ones getting the boot into a tizzy. The rest of us welcome a change of scenery.

Thank you. I thought I was going to have to write that.

Don't get me wrong, I love working with women. Just the different energy you get from them are refreshing enough to make your work just a tiny bit less tedious. But c'mon, it's disheartening the see how obvious they are with their preference for female hires. It's common knowledge employees really really want to hire women (unless you've been living under a rock for the last 30 years) but it just feels so damn unfair to be denied an opportunity because of what gender I was born into, you know? How is this different from Hitler killing people because of something they were born into? This is sexism and I'm against it. Simple as that.

Where do you work? A coffee shop or restaurant? I've been in male-dominated industries my entire life where no one was eager to hire a female. You need to step outside of your tiny little bubble every now and then, pool, and that's coming from someone who abhors the modern face of feminism and understands the inequality men face in a select few areas of life. If you were talking about adoption, custody and divorce, I'd be right with you, but you're fighting a fight men won at the dawn of fucking time. It really seems like you just don't like women much. I'm sure the feeling's mutual.
