Congratulations, by stating the truth you have now become an honorary MRA/MGTOW/Nazi/supporter of the patriarchy/kyriarchy.

All jokes aside, this is the face of modern feminism (and many of its “men’s rights” imitators, for that matter). Complaining about self-inflicted wounds and/or generic life problems that everyone faces, as if beset upon by a sinister organized machine geared for the oppression of the one sex and the benefit of the other. It’s kindergarten playground politics ascended to the next level. Would be a lot funnier if it weren’t so damaging.

Of course actual sexism should be rejected, but it is concerning how the author of this piece perceives getting unearned promotions as oppression. There are plenty of skilled and yet unemployed people who would kill to get a job in their field, even if it meant being a token / getting condescended at. That’s a pretty low price of admission, as these things go. Having been unemployed myself and knowing what a special kind of hell it is, seeing people complaining about getting a job they transparently didn’t deserve is just surreal.
