&quot;Haha, look at those women, they need a head start!&quot;
&quot;Damm, women are so weak they need lower standards to join the firefighters.&quot;

All things I heard.</i><p>Which is why, as an enlightened and intelligent person, when you hear things like that it&#x27;s your job to point out that the positive discrimination is only necessary because of the negative attitudes people have towards minority groups.

And that includes defending positive discrimination for the good it does.
