Why turn off comments when companies roll out outrageous institutional sexism/quotas that discriminate against men?
If they'll be so uninterested (because "biology") then they won't take the job and all will be great again.It clearly is institutional discrimination against men, that's simply a fact. Just because a profession doesn't split 50/50 by sex or reflect the general population by ethnicity/race it is not an indicator of discrimination or unfairness. It is well documented that women naturally skew towards different interests and than men, gendered behaviour is rooted in biology and is not simply a "social construct". Females skew towards people men skew towards "things" and you can see this in job areas selected.
They are clearly stating favouritism towards female candidates, I see I'm going to be dealing with a lot people dancing on the head of a pin as they try to pretend favouritism is not discrimination.They are not discriminating against men. That would be bad. They are looking to "attract and retain" more women, which is good.
If they were saying "BT has a hiring freeze on men", I'd be looking for a pitchfork.
But the article says they are doing what they can to attract and retain women. More women in STEM is excellent and I praise them for it.
Nice try but that's not what I stated, women as a population skew to people men as a population skew to things which is one of the reasons why professions don't split 50/50 by sex. And yes it's biology, whether you've bothered to research it or not.If they'll be so uninterested (because "biology") then they won't take the job and all will be great again.
And they're hardly pushing for 50/50..the actual percentages are probably abysmal.
Maybe because the site is called ISPreview and not Fox News? I for one don't care about this topic, people are not willing to accept either argument and are simply trying to state their opinion above everyone's else. Keep the comments closed Mark in articles that draw the haters, much better this way!Why turn off comments when companies roll out outrageous institutional sexism/quotas that discriminate against men?

Wholly agree with this mark.Congrats Bob on making a topic title that breaks the anti-trolling rule. You could have made it a constructive debate, but then you made it personal too, and I find that offensive. I have now edited it to remove my personal name.
Obviously, I turned the comments off on that article because it was bound to attract hate speech and moronic commentary more than constructive arguments, which is much as I've seen before with similar articles. This is much more of an issue with the Online Safety Bill looming, so you can expect to see it happen more often.
I'm also not a big fan of the politically driven and divisive garbage heap that is populist term slinging. Woke, elites, brexiters, fake news (particularly when applied to factual reports), cancel culture (especially when those that complain about it, also do it), remoaners, snowflakes, lefty, hard right etc. Over time these terms have become warped and lost any legitimate meaning they might have once had, if they ever had it.
I find all of those terms to now be fairly banal, particularly when their use is adopted to fill a void left by the speakers lack of a reasoned and hopefully constructive counter-argument. It's the debating equivalent of being 5 years old in a school playground and saying "well.. mines bigger than yours" as a retaliatory jibe.
Take "woke" as a prime example, since you raise it. Until politicians, such as Donald Trump, started using it as a seemingly common insult to criticise opponents for a variety of things, then I can't ever recall having heard it much before in common discussions. But according to the dictionary, being woke means to be "aware, especially of social problems such as racism and inequality" - https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/woke .
On that basis alone, then yes, I would consider myself woke (sorry), due to harbouring a disgust for racists and a respect for systems that treat people as equals (man, woman, black, white etc.), without prejudice, much as I was raised (having an extremely strong and intelligent sister helps). I would also hope that is true for most people. To me, the opposite of woke is thus somebody who is racist and or has no interest in inequality or tackling social problems.
So, consider this a final warning, if you insist on making incendiary and trolling topic titles then I'm happy to erase your account. We don’t allow that kind of crap on this forum.
Yes, there's always someone who'll complain about institution discrimination. How terrible.Because people like you would reply to them

umm NO how about leave the comments open and if you don't care to read them then don't, and WOW by the way Nice of you to tar everyone with the same brush , a brush coated thickly in your own prejudices and opinions.Maybe because the site is called ISPreview and not Fox News?

It's not about reading them, the comments section of the articles allows anonymous users to post stuff that has no place on the front of this website, and harms the brand reputation of ispreview.umm NO how about leave the comments open and if you don't care to read them then don't, and WOW by the way Nice of you to tar everyone with the same brush , a brush coated thickly in your own prejudices and opinions.
Why is that people think they have right to express their opinion on forums or websites owned by private companies?umm NO how about leave the comments open and if you don't care to read them then don't, and WOW by the way Nice of you to tar everyone with the same brush , a brush coated thickly in your own prejudices and opinions.
