OK, so I'm conducting an experiment with this subreddit and r/AskFeminists. I already know some cases of discrimination against men, such as with false rape allegations, family court, reproductive rights and non-reciprocal cases of domestic abuse and intimate terrorism. Can you give some more examples of cases where men are clearly discriminated against or at a disadvantage where there aren't any uncontrollable variables are at play? And as an aside, do you think gender and race quotas are doing more harm or good?
For the aside, I don't agree with the gender and race quotas. While they do get POCs jobs, they will never know whether it was on their own merit or if the company decided that they had 'too many white people' or 'too many men'. That could cause them to second guess themselves, which could lead to mental health issues down the line, especially anxiety. Also, it means that there might have been a white man who worked his ass off for his degree and prepped himself for the interview, who was relying on the company to hire him since he was qualified for a job they wanted. And he was dismissed because of his skin colour. And if he doesn't know about the diversity quotas, then he would assume that he wasn't the best candidate, so he may delve into unhealthy habits and develop mental health issues of his own, most likely depression.
So what's the outcome? The POC works at a job they feel like they didn't earn, the white man is unemployed, and both develop mental problems.
Edit: r/Ask Feminists banned and muted me because one of their mods got passive aggressive with me. I pointed out that I was only there for the experiment. First day too! Feel free to share more information with me though!
