So can we stop the preferential hiring practices now?
30 years in a technical field, and I have yet to benefit from 'preferential' hiring...and I do get my hands dirty. In fact, men leave me the nasty jobs. What princes they.
I think white males are discovering that competition isn't what they thought it was...they might lose. No longer is it enough to have a white skin, male plumbing and a pretty smile to get any kind of job...

If that's the case, why has the preferential treatment been "necessary" for so long?

ROTFLMAO
I can name two women placed in technical leadership positions on this property because they were women. The men with better skills did not have the one key component - female plumbing.

What a stupid statement. And where do you get this penetrating observation from, hm?
The whole "males" thing makes me think you're a closet DU'er. Only PC people out of the biomedical field use "males" or "females" in ordinary conversation.

Indeed. But it's becoming evident that being a pedantic nitwit helps a lot.
