Yes, but it's the device our society has decided is the civilized way of solving a dispute and dispensing justice. My point is, Affirmative Action is an archaic device that creates more injustice than it solves these days. To see that it's not needed all you have to do is look to top universities or top firms - they all have women or minorities. That being said there is a point in favor of your side of things: in at least academics the system may be stacked against women - not on purpose, but because it was designed around men and their needs. For example, to get a top professorship an average woman would have to forgo having children. This is because that career track will take most of her time until she's in her late 30s. Now, granted, this is her choice, but who says the system needs to be set up that way? It was clearly designed around men who don't have the same liabilities when it comes to having children. I think that's a good point, but the question remains - where are the women complaining about it? If they exist they're certainly not organized. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:145409 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
