Absolutely. The US government and the government of the several states I have lived in have all denied me opportunities because I am a demonized white male.

Wow. This basically makes the tagline I recently switched to prophetic.

I agree, some of the popular perspectives that hard working white males must endure are pretty harsh and based on fantasy. Why feminists pass blame as opposed to try to equip women with tools to compete should they choose to is beyond me.

Are white males getting shortchanged? No. Freedom is getting shortchanged.
We should resist the temptation to partition ourselves off into groups like this, even when it's in the name of a good cause such as fighting affirmative action. Positioning the argument this way simply buys into the left's premise that groups are important in the first place. They're not. Individuals are important. And THAT'S why affirmative action is wrong.
If you cede this ground -- if you invoke "white males" as a group that is "losing rights" -- you've already handed the argument to the libs.

"We accept as gospel the widely-reported statistic that women earn 77 cents on the dollar." While that has been repeated enough times to become "conventional wisdom", noone (least of all Sen. Clinton) ever mentions that the main reason the cost of non-salary benefits has skyrocketed in the workplace is because women are and always have been a much higher medical risk than men.
I discovered this for myself when I went to work for a healthcare provider in the 90's and saw my premiums for major medical double overnight. When I asked the "benefits specialist" in HR why this was, she responded chirpily, "This company is 89% female."

To paraphrase the old feminist saw:
White men have to be twice as good as anyone else to succeed today.
Fortunately, this is not difficult.

Right now the most discriminated against person is a young white male. Hands down. Its time to stop this reverse discrimination. Our generation has done nothing to deserve this.
