I’m all for women and diversity in the workplace, but legislating who you must hire is a dangerous precedent. If they can legislate who you must hire, then they can legislate who you can’t hire. It’s a very slippery slope.

I’m for equality, but this sounds sexist.

Presidente Biden, Recibí su informe; gracias. Estoy convencido que todos los que trabajamos para llevarlo a ud a la Casa Blanca para que sea el presidente de toda la nación, hemos salvado a Los Estados Unidos. ¡Muchos éxitos! Y que Dios sea siempre con ud para guiarlo.

Stupid idea.

Oh great, more affirmative action, bc making people hire people bc of their race/sex etc, as compared to if they're actually QUALIFIED, is a huge breakthrough...

Nows a good time for a man to become a woman... it’s 2020, so that’s allowed now.
