it never ceases to amaze me that some dudes can look around a space that is literally 99% male, latch onto the handful of female participants and go, “AFFIRMATIVE ACTION REVERSE SEXISM BIAS! YOU WERE ONLY ALLOWED IN BECAUSE YOU’RE WOMEN!”
and it’s like, seriously? if femaleness is all that’s required for quick, easy, pain-free inclusion in male-dominated spaces without any real reference to knowledge or skill, then HOW THE FUCK DID THEY COME TO BE MALE-DOMINATED IN THE FIRST PLACE?
THAT WOULD BE BECAUSE MALENESS IS THE THING THAT GRANTS EASY INCLUSION, YOU UNOBSERVANT DUMBASS
it’s like these people secretly think that the homogeneity of an all-male group is a perfectly neutral blank slate from which natural, meritocratic diversity could spontaneously emerge at any moment - but that the minute it does, it creates a visible imbalance which must necessarily be the product of quotas and all things bad; and as such, they end up valuing the potential for diversity more than actual diversity, just because it looks neater and they don’t have to think as much
