I just promoted a woman, a female software engineer, to Head of Mobile Development.She was the best candidate. She's straight. White. Married. Has 3 children.
And she absolutely despises this type of SJW bullshit. She gave me the speech about how it should all be based on meritocracy, education and skills, and the ability to do the job (experience) but nothing else because she doesn't want to work with ignorant and/or incompetent people. When dealing with absurdly tight deadlines, you don't want a token woman or minority that you were forced to hire due to quotas you had to fill, you want the best of the best by your side and if they just so happen to be a "minority", great!
Competent female engineers don't want to be coddled or be given jobs they were not the most qualified for. They want to be given jobs and promotions because they deserve it based on their qualifications and performance merits.
"But, dadudemon, you don't speak for women and you're mansplaining."
I literally and directly speak for the women who work for me. Suck it! 😄
I feel like women are the most woke demographic that SJWs claim to uphold so to speak, and I think I know the reason why.
If you're a racial minority it's easy to isolate yourself from say white people for example, assuming you aren't mixed race you grow up in a minority family, likely in an area with a lot of minorities, possibly within the structure of a cultural element correlated to that group, and then you can marry or seek a sexual or romantic relationship with other minorities.
If you're LGBT, you can sequester yourself with other gay people or "allies" and sure you grow up in a family, but there's a very real chance you can isolate yourself from that if they disapprove of LGBT stuff.
If you're a woman however and you have two parents, you grow up in a family with a father, maybe one or more brothers, unless you go to an all girl's school you have to interact with boys, and when you're in the work force you have to interact with a lot of men. And if you're straight woman and looking for a relationship you actually have to get intimate with a man.
Basically I think women as a demographic are less susceptible to SJW influence because as a consequence of biology women by necessity have to actually be seriously integrated with the other demographic in the domain of gender, whereas again racial minorities can stay sequestered with other racial minorities to a greater extent than women can with other women, and gay people can withdraw more into the "gay community" and detach themselves from their parents if thy don't accept them.
I think this goes the other way too, since white people can sequester themselves with other white people, or straight people who aren't enmeshed in LGBT stuff can sequester themselves with similar straight people, but any men who grow up with a mother, or go to school with half of the people there being women, or who actually want to get with women romantically and sexually have to be integrated with the female population.
Honestly I think that's the reason why the groups of men and women are less drawn into the identity game than the demographic groups in other areas such as race and sexuality, because men and women can't retreat into a bubble with the same ease that the other groups can.
