I was the center of a very heated debate in my Lit class today...
We were reading about the advancement of women via The Norton Reader...and our instructor asked us a critical thinking question, I can't remember it now, but it sparked the debate. A propos, I was pitted against the most liberal person I know, Courtney Brown, and she despises the fact that I'm the most conservative guy in the class. So, long story short -- she goes off on a spiel about how women still don't get paid as much as men in the working world, I reply with the fact that over half of all wall street CEO's are now women, she returns with "It's only fair to give the qualified women the jobs." It disgusts me...why should we have to coddle different races/genders now? It happened, it's done, move on. She said something along the lines of "Well, the guy's have had the stage for thousands of years, it's our turn now." Actually sweetheart, I've only been here for 17. It's not mine nor any of my colleagues goddamn problems. |
