Why should the new ones care? Most people will gladly be a beneficiary of an “unfair” advantage anytime one arises. Does the bloke whose dad is a pilot, owns a plane and got his license for free at 17 have any self respect?
Sucks for the older women who cop it both ways, worked hard to get there and now get the downside of everyone seeing them as token females.
