| 3 | Teacher recommended me for a STEM scholarship from lockheed martin, me being a straight white male, how is this not sexist and racist?I can tell you that I am a professional in this field. Diversity and Inclusion is what I do. A) there are no quotas. There are guidelines that compare the makeup of your organization to the population you serve. The goal is to have a similar demographic makeup. B) Better qualified applicants are not turned away - at least not where I have worked (even behind closed doors). It is simply a tie breaker. If you have two equally qualified applicants - one green, one blue, and you have an organization… | /r/MensRights | 29/11/18 09:58 AM |
| 3 | I would like to know more about mens rightsTherein lies the problem. You don't care, and you're uninformed. Societal norms tell you that men prefer to work with things and women prefer to work with people...but it's not true. It's a bias, a stigma, a stereotype- and it keeps these groups out of these fields. | /r/MensRights | 29/11/18 09:49 AM |
| 3 | Teacher recommended me for a STEM scholarship from lockheed martin, me being a straight white male, how is this not sexist and racist?Please explain to me exactly how you perceive it to be chopping the legs off of other people. I just cannot see where you are coming from on this. I would very much like to at least understand your perspective, if not agree. | /r/MensRights | 29/11/18 09:33 AM |
| 3 | I would like to know more about mens rightsA) quotas aren't a thing. The goal is to have similar demographics to the organizations main consumer base, period. B) better qualified applicants aren't being turned away. What this is saying is if they have one spot open and two equally qualified candidates- they will then look at these other factors. Essentially its a tie breaker. And programs like this target those who are missing at the table in that field. For example, in nursing men might be given preference - because they are underrepres… | /r/MensRights | 29/11/18 09:30 AM |
| 0 | I would like to know more about mens rightsNot true. Women are underrepresented because it is a male dominated field that has discouraged women from entering it through systemic discrimination and bias. | /r/MensRights | 29/11/18 09:22 AM |
| 1 | Teacher recommended me for a STEM scholarship from lockheed martin, me being a straight white male, how is this not sexist and racist?You're comparing apples and oranges. Look at the data specific to the field. | /r/MensRights | 29/11/18 06:36 AM |
| 2 | Teacher recommended me for a STEM scholarship from lockheed martin, me being a straight white male, how is this not sexist and racist?I think you are confusing the goal. The goal isn't equality- it's equity. Sticking to an everyone is equal mentality means that some get left behind- because reality is not everyone is born to equal life circumstances. | /r/MensRights | 29/11/18 06:33 AM |
| 2 | Teacher recommended me for a STEM scholarship from lockheed martin, me being a straight white male, how is this not sexist and racist?Let me put it another way. If it's your sister's birthday and I give her a gift - are you "screwed" because you didn't get a gift on her birthday? Or, for example - Child A is tall, Child B is not. Child A can reach the sink easily, Child B cannot reach the sink because he/she is too short. Would it be "screwing" Child A to give Child B a stool? No it wouldn't. Child A's ability to reach the sink doesn't change. | /r/MensRights | 29/11/18 06:17 AM |
| 5 | Teacher recommended me for a STEM scholarship from lockheed martin, me being a straight white male, how is this not sexist and racist?I'm sorry, in what way are they screwed? Nothing is being taken away. | /r/MensRights | 29/11/18 06:10 AM |
| 0 | I would like to know more about mens rightsTo be fair, women are highly underrepresented in STEM. Giving them a foot in the door doesnt hinder men in the STEM field, it just gives women a chance to boost their representation and level the playing field. | /r/MensRights | 29/11/18 04:58 AM |
| 4 | Teacher recommended me for a STEM scholarship from lockheed martin, me being a straight white male, how is this not sexist and racist?It's not discrimination. It's giving a leg up to those who have been pushed down in society. - thus giving them a fair chance. Societal systems and processes in our country are biased towards tall white men - not because of anything current tall white men might've done, but as a result of our country's history. For example, let's say everyone is striving to do well in life. Let's give "do well in life" a number - 10. 10 being a perfect score (wealthy, successful, healthy, happy), 7 being average… | /r/MensRights | 29/11/18 03:40 AM |
