"50/50 hiring quotas are sexist towards men"

That's what a family member of mine just said.

So an equal parts of both genders is sexist... equality is sexist towards men...

I can't wrap my head around this mindset. How the hell is treating both parties the same discriminating against one party?

this is why so many white people in the USA are incredibly butthurt and won't stop crying about how white men are the most discriminated against group, etc. It's ridiculous, but people do actually feel that way.
