[QUOTE="Frankenstein Underworld, post: 443447, member: 35"] DEI was more about quotas than qualifications. An equitable and diverse workforce is great, so long as the people that are put in those positions are capable of doing the job. As for feminism, the original stated goals of gender equality and accountability for abusive men are what society should strive for. Unfortunately, most movements either have ulterior motives from the start, or they devolve into something darker. That's not to say there aren't well-intentioned, self-described feminists out there, but the movement at large has come to represent a more misandrist mindset. The toxic feminists tried to silence male victims during the #MeToo movement and used it as an excuse to strip [I]all[/I] men of due process. There was pushback because accusations were treated as gospel, with phrases like "believe all women" used to justify innocent men getting caught in the net. Some people referred to it as an "overcorrection," yet they still seemed to justify it. And all because the modern feminist view became about female superiority. That's why the Lindsay Clancy situation isn't about "one individual case." What it represents is toxic women coming to the aid of another woman solely because of her gender. Sadly, most of her supporters [I]are[/I] excusing her actions. Even the people who say we should consider her mental state and the circumstances that led to her snapping appear to be treating her different because she's a woman. When it's a man, people usually want to execute him first and ask questions later. Female predators are getting more attention these days, and their treatment is noticeably different too. Not only do they tend to receive lighter sentences, but people in general often take their crimes much less seriously. I'm not a big label person these days, but as someone who supports true equality and accountability for both men [I]and[/I] women, I'd prefer to think of myself as a humanist. [/QUOTE]
