Discrimination != Choice

There are moments in life where you gotta choose something. There is no discrimination if you choose objectively. You choose water over bleach because there are objective reasons why one over the other will be better for you. You choose waiting for a green light over running onto a driving car because that is less likely to get you killed. If you cant give everyone a job you have to choose someone. If you choose purely based on qualities describing who will fit the position best like experience and knowledge that wont be a discrimination. There is no such thing as a fair discrimination

    I know that, of course, I was using my initial points to set a frame of reference that the word "discrimination!" is a thought-terminating cliche.

    This comment thread is a completely bad faith framing of the issue. Creating safe spaces for women in tech isn't discrimination. It's elevating a traditionally underrepresented demographic. Lemme guess, you guys talk a lot about divorce court right?

    I think you've misinterpreted me. I'm saying that it's not discrimination to force people to stop discriminating in favor of white men.
