Just because you say it is so, does not make it so. I live in the same
world. I world where affirmative action gives women and minorities the
edge.
The same world where whiney women think they are being discriminated
against, rather than look at themselves. I live in a world, where truly
talented women, who work hard, succeed at great levels. They are never
held
back.
I also live in a world where women like you, spout nonsense statistics,
like
women are paid 80% of what a man makes, without even a clue of what that
means.
You live in a fantasy world as a perpetual victim.
