So, on another thread a male contributor raised a point about why he feels 1) Diversity and Equality laws have “gone too far and 2) why (in his opinion) White British Men support Reform.
I think we should explore this further as I’d like to understand why W.B.M. apparently feel this way and if Reform is the panacea for these feeling of what I can only describe as “WBM feeling somehow subjugated, oppressed, left our, ignored”
In my lifetime I’ve seen a lot of extremely positive changes made to all sorts of different lives and opportunities.
I don’t think “positive discrimination” was the answer, but can understand completely why this was used. Clearly, to me, this was used to ensure groups who might otherwise be overlooked were given opportunities to prove themselves.
Positive discrimination is rarely used now, especially in job application situations.
However, there is a box you can tick in England on any public sector role if you’re disabled. If said box is ticked, AND the applicant reaches the minimum level required, a guaranteed interview will be given. This will apply to EVERYONE, irrespective of colour/race/age and includes WBM.
Exactly what is it that Reform as specifically offering to White British Men and Women, that is different or special from any other political party?
In my own friendship group, I have no Reform supporters, nor have I heard W.B.M. complain or even comment that they’ve been “overlooked” at all in their personal or professional lives. Ditto those W.B.M. in our own immediate and extended family.
I have to admit, I was thoroughly shocked to read the line about women taking jobs that belong to men?
Let’s try and keep this pleasant please, but some opinions expressed around this entire topic have utterly dumbfounded me.
