“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.” — Anatole France

Treating people equally does not mean treating them the same (or, why don't healthy people get to be hospital patients, too?).

Men have been getting gold stars for women's achievements for centuries. The discovery of DNA is a perfect example.

I thought the point was to improve the world and correct injustices, not just get revenge. Two wrongs don't make a right.

We are trying to correct injustices. What revenge seeking do you see?

It's hard for me to understand the sense of victimhood I sometimes see from other White men.

Don't confuse rational discourse for "victimhood". Finding reasoned discourse difficult to understand and centering it around "victimhood" is ironically an effeminate trait.

I wasn't specifically addressing the person I was replying to—speaking instead to the general victimhood I see on display when this topic comes up.

I've lost friends to the "man-o-sphere" that think women and minorities have it easy, it's the white male that is being persecuted.

Pathetic.

Oh, so just whatever you feel like is happening you delusionally believe is happening. Not surprising.

I've lost friends to the "DEI-o-sphere" that think men and majorities have it easy, it's the non-white female that is being persecuted.

Pathetic.

Most conferences claim to be for everyone, but are really geared towards white cis men.
