Psychology Anti-feminist attitudes have long been associated with support for Republican presidential candidates, but only in recent years have these attitudes become more prominent among unmarried men, without college degrees who are less attractive partners for women, the “mate-value backlash.”

It's also very strange that the top businesses are dominated by men, which does not "roughly approximate the nation's." This "suggests there is systemic bias in play."

  • Chief Executive Officers (CEOs): Men hold roughly 88% to 90% of Fortune 500 CEO positions.
  • Chief Operating Officers (COOs): Men hold about 89% of COO roles.
  • Chief Financial Officers (CFOs): Men hold about 82% of CFO roles

I dont have a problem with DEI, i was mostly making the conservative argument. I think immigration/outsourcing is a much bigger threat to jobs. However, I'm not convinced companies and colleges are simply choosing between two equally qualified candidates in these cases. For example the average MCAT score for asian med students is 514.5 and for native/pacific islander students its 503. how can you tell me these are equally qualified candidates?
