It used to piss me off that my office had take your daughter to work day and everyone go to bring their daughters and the company would bring in speakers and buy lunch for them but my sons were not welcome. It wasn't that they wanted to help kids it was a misguided thought process where instead of helping all the kids they felt they could level the playing field by helping one group of kids only. None of that rising tides lifts all ship BS for them. When I complained my to female boss who had no qualifications for her job and who didn't even really understand what we did explained to me that is was because females were so disadvantaged they needed extra help. I guess that is true since she was chosen over two qualified men for the job because none of labs had female managers and HR said we had to hire a female. And no I am not just being bitter we were told that they wanted a female and when they couldn't find a qualified female with the proper technical background they hired one without it.

One of the guys I work with now was talking about how wonderful it was that Notre Dame was giving his a son scholarship because they wanted to increase their diversity on campus, he his son is black. Now this guy is an engineering manager who brings in six figures and his wife is a RN but giving him finical aid that wouldn't be offered to a poor white kids is seen as social justice. I had to bite my tongue and walk away. I wish I could afford to send my son to Notre Dame but he had to join the marines and man a machine gun mounted on a fuel truck in Iraq to afford his education. I guess that is simply what he gets for be one of the hated straight white males and not being as rich as white people are supposed to be.
