It's strange you think we're coming from a different position. In my comment I said I thought we should be angry at the current situation. I also said what we have now isn't a solution and that we will hopefully move past the idea of equal opportunities. I say that despite ticking two of the boxes for why I'd be discriminated against. Perhaps because I was calm about it, you thought that decided my position.
You haven't alienated me but you certainly make it harder than it should be to appreciate the thought behind your words. That may be the case for others too. This isn't a criticism. Hopefully it's seen as enlightening. Regardless of the truth of a situation, there are good and bad ways to get a point across. If you're trying to persuade people you have to be persuasive as opposed to being in attack-mode (which doesn't really work).
You seemed fairly neutral. I'm hardly in attack mode; I haven't cussed anyone or been rude, only expressed my opinion. Perhaps sternly, but not 'attack-mode.' I'm curious how you are considering yourself so much more calm than me. I just don't agree that a 'fair unfair' system is a step in the right direction. It's more like a side-step.
IIN I'm Tired of 'Equal Opportunity' and Reverse Discrimination
