I'll tell you something: I was born in 1989, I had ZERO advantages on women in my entire life and I really had enough to hear the opposite.
So the question is: are you looking for equality or revenge? Because "positive discrimination" seems just a subtle way to indicate the second option to me.
Maybe you'd like to talk about parental rights, quotas in low-paid high-fatigue jobs, lower selection standards reserved to women in public roles (just think about the Army or the Air Force) or why women can retire years before I'd be able to, even if my life expectancy as a man is lower.
Or someone could kindly explain to me how are we still talking about the "pay gap", another amazing term with absolutely no sense which compares salaries without weighting the average? It doesn't take a genius ti understand why men in aviation earn 50% more than women when 90% of pilots are men and 90% of cabin crews are women...
Another funny thing to talk about is that an HR department is usually 95% women and 5% men, yet listening to social warriors they're hiring more men instead of women? Are women discriminating themselves?
Amazing days to live in, amazing days...
You had zero advantages on women since you were born, in 1989? Hahahaha okay then.
Men aren’t being discriminated, unless they are black or muslin, can give you names of several airlines who wont hire them. What revenge mate? Watching too many videos of Milo Yanopolous and far away from the realities we face.
We are talking about aviation, but in the grand scheme of things, you cannot deny the historical facts that we did and we still do have the upper hand. At least I’m honest enough to check my privilege rather than whine about gays having a parade and I don't.
Pay gap? You’ve answered your own question and also proved the point that the pilot market is men led, 90%+ men, as you put it, thanks for that. Give them the opportunity to compete with us, just make sure you’re good enough to beat them, why so fearful?
HR have more women and are hiring more men? What a ludicrous, moronic statement. There aren’t enough women training, there’s not enough in the talent pool so these women will pick the men by default. Men have the freedom to apply as they please to all jobs, had you have any recruitment experience you’d know that caucasian men are not discriminated anywhere in the modern world.
I agree, amazing days we live in that we have to explain this to people....thankfully that sort of mentality will retire soon!
