    You said no group was good enough. Is it possible they had to award somebody and just picked the group that’d look better? Because most of us will instead see the problem in needing a winner at all. If noones qualified, just don’t award anyone

      I don’t know if they had to pick someone. But even if they did, they should choose the better of them, instead of whichever had more women.

      A 4.5/10 project is still better than a 3/10, even if neither would pass.

          If that was the case, why would they lie and say that instead of saying that it was because they were the least bad?

              “very little” is what micro means.

              If this was swapped and they were chosen just for being boys, some would be absolutely furious. But because it’s the other way around, it’s no big deal. Ok. Now ask yourself why young men are not as pro-feminism as they once were.

                No matter how bad you want it to be, discriminating against a higher class is not the same as a lower one. And compared to the history where women couldn’t have bank accounts without a man’s signature, could legally be rapid by their husband, this does not compare. To say nothing of the fact that men have real problems caused by the same patriarchy, the education and suicide gaps for example, being victims of non sexual crimes at a much higher rate, why is this the hill you die on?
