This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's literally discrimination yo. The should never be more/less rights for specific groups like race, gender, age, etc...

No it's literally not and there absolutely should be when you take cultural biases into account.

If everyone was equal to begin with you'd be right but they aren't.

Putting a female or foreign sounding name on a CV results in less responses. So those people should be given a boost because they're already behind.

Disabled people are already at a disadvantage so giving them an advantage doesn't make anyone else worse off.

It's not a zero sum game.
