I stand corrected, regarding feminism. I'm just quoting what I learned back in school.
And I don't have any issue with the law that states "It is illegal to consider race, sex, age, etc. when deciding whom to hire or promote." But, as I've said above, I don't think Quotas are the answer either.
The problem with Quotas is that it DOES end up being unfair to some, for example those firefighters, most of whom probably weren't going out of their way to be racist or anything.
I don't know what a better system would be. I know what I think SHOULD be, but I've no idea that it would work in reality, reality being intrinsically unfair to all.
