"I vigorously dispute the allegation that women receive affirmative action in education. As a white woman, I can't think of any time where my educational opportunities were expanded or changed because I had two x chromosomes."
Sorry, I used the wrong word when I said "benefit". That's the Pro-AA stance, not mine. I want to get rid of AA. I should've used "suffer", but that sounds too much like we're victims of something. The point is, it's true that there are AA quotas for women, too. I've read that more white women qualify under AA than anyone else. So, do you suspect that the women you interview for a job are probably less qualified than the men? Many people do.

I don't know of any AA quotas for women in university admissions. I know that there have been some job quotas for women in other areas, but that's not what we were talking about. I vigorously dispute that women were ever AA beneficiaries in university admissions.
