Quotas give chance to mediocre women. However let's focus on less competent men who are thrown away due to quotas.

Yeah, if you remove the bottom X% of men, the average quality of men will improve. That's arithmetic - you don't need any study to prove that. But if (in affirmative action), you're replacing the marginal men by lower quality women, the average quality of the whole group will be lower.

But let's get back to the message - if you complain about affirmative action, you must be a loser man whose job is threatened.

Another reason few men viscerally grasp that gender quotas like those Summers has now promised to women will work against their own opportunities: the individual male ego. Collective male solidarity is seldom a match for it.

Sex preferences for women penalize the marginal male. But what Real Man would admit to himself that he is marginal? (This was one of the findings of Frederick Lynch`s 1992 study of white men and Affirmative Action, Invisible Victims.)

As an analogy, consider how men tend to think about polygamy. For 20 years, I've read every article I've come across in the press about polygamy, and they all follow the same pattern. They simply assume that polygamy is in the interest of men, and thus examine carefully whether polygamy is good for women.

I finally had to write an article myself pointing out that for one man to take four wives means that, in the normal course of events, three men will get no wives at all.

But in articles about polygamy, you never read about the lonely bachelors.

This blind spot seems to arise because it's virtually impossible for a man to imagine himself as one of the losers in a polygamous society, rather than the one big winner. He might prefer one wife to the 150 wives acquired by a Kenyan gentleman I once read about. But his male ego can't allow him to identify with the 149 men who end up rejected and alone.

This psychological quirk creates a reality distortion field in the heads of men when it comes to gender preferences: No way could I ever be the victim of a quota!

But there are indeed victims. And, as we see in Summers Show Trial, one of them is truth.
