DEI is inherently racist no matter what political affiliation, to hire someone based on ethnicity over qualifications.
It's a flawed policy. Perhaps focus more on free education so all ethnicities can be as qualified as the next "white, Asian, male, or straight employees".
We're all Americans. Can't just say "fuck conservatives" and not compromise to come up with a rational solution. But I digress.
Wait until you see how many white rich people Trump is gonna hire.
Yeah that's the same concept as DEI. It's racist.
Hiring a lesser qualified individual to satisfy DEI policy is flawed and creates a weaker product.
Improving education and wages would fix the need to hire based on "DEI" individuals. Making education cheaper to attain while providing higher paying jobs, so everyone has a chance to further their education and opportunities.
There are a lot of jobs that only men are inclined to do that women simply don't want to do. Forcing companies to hire people who can't do the job properly just for them to quit or be fired isn't good practice.
DEI policy is just a band aid to cover up the real problem. You're just looking the other way because you think it makes you feel moral and just to advocate for said polices. Your "advanced degree" has made you complacent with today's societal standards.
Don't you want all people to have the same opportunity that you had? Why should a company hire a POC with a GED ahead of anyone else to satisfy a policy?
Why should a labor intensive company be forced to hire someone that will eventually quit anyways? Or be forced to deal with a substandard service to qualify a quota?
It's a stupid flawed practice. Look at Cheatle with the secret service. Perfect example. She was definitely the wrong person for the job. Look at Kamala Harris. Look at Ketanji Brown. Biden hired exclusively to DEI standards. Where is Biden now? And look what happened.
It's ok to disagree. It's also ok for a woman to choose motherhood over a career. It's ok for a man to be the provider while the mother takes care of the household and children. It's also ok for a dual career household. Beliefs shouldn't be forced into others. Especially religious beliefs.
Take care, thanks for the reply.
DEI is not a hiring quota. Literally none of your window dressed bigotry is relevant.
Do you even know what DEI is?
How is considering skin colour when hiring not a racist practice?
Yes
So this has nothing to do with the race/gender/minority checkboxes on job applications that automatically get you an interview? That's the sort of shit I disagree with.
Yes I really think men are more naturally inclined to do executive type roles. Men and women aren't the same.
And yes I think that people are hired on their ability to do the job first and foremost. The thing is that white people are more advantaged in society when it comes to acquiring said skills to do said jobs but that's an entirely different problem.
I think that white people have better opportunities to get educated etc. Not that they are inherently better. Being born into a poor family is obviously going to present you with less opportunities. That's a whole different problem unrelated to hiring practices though.
Yeah men do make better leaders as we have seen all throughout human history. Queens were far more likely to wage war than kings, one example. Men and women are more different than they are the same. Not superior/inferior; just different.
I guess I am opposed to Affirmative Action?
Maybe true. I'll do more research going forward.
Full disagree with you that I'm bigoted though. You mentioned women in executive positions. Women aren't in executive positions because they don't want to be, not the other way around.
I think that jobs held by women should be paid as much as jobs held by men though.
There are no women fixing power lines despite nothing stopping them from doing so. Why? I can name a lot of example jobs like this. Executive roles are one of them.
I'm not American so I'm unfamiliar with fox news talking points.
OK, women in college. I like this topic. I think it's wrong to encourage all women to go to college considering once they graduate and start a career the clock is ticking down for having kids. And I think this is the root cause of low birth rates in all egalitarian societies.
I think society should encourage women to prioritize being mothers first and to persue career second.
My experience isn't everyone's but my mom raised me till I was like 15 and then she went to college and started her career. I think this is optimal. My childhood was incredible. And because my mom had kids early, I now get to enjoy spending many more years with her than if she had done the college first thing.
Not opposed to feminism but very opposed to current wave feminism.
Also want to say I don't think most men belong in college either. But it makes more sense for them to go to college as soon as possible as they are unable to have children. Right?
Who is going to have kids then? Not that I personally care that the human race is dying out but this is why.
Sorry to edit again but there is absolutely nothing wrong with encouraging motherhood. And you'll notice that women who prioritize kids are looked at as failures in egalitarian societies.
The way you use the word breeding proves my point so perfectly. Women are not animals bro.
Prior to modern day feminism, only one parent needed a high paying job to have a family. It's a capitalist idea intended to double the workforce and lower the value of labour.
And no, men aren't natural caregivers. Look at what careers men tend to choose.
I'm not against abortion or education. I work in higher education. I just think we are steering women the wrong way. Men too.
I'm not an idiot but thanks for your opinion. I never insulted you and you can't help yourself so I'm not interested in spending more time with you on this.
Also I'm not American. Good luck with your shitty country bro. My country still values women and thankfully people here don't call women breeders.
Horrifying I work in education? Fuck off bro
Top 20 jobs held by men and women are the same list today as it was 100 years ago prior to feminism. Men tend to do certain jobs and women tend to do other jobs. This has rang true all throughout human history. It's nothing to do with prejudice against women.
