Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

DEI is nowhere near as serious, a white male will have the advantage in the next job he/we apply for.
The problem with false accusations being trusted without evidence, is that it can ruin peoples lives.
I know it's not the PURPOSE of MeeToo, but I've seen this results in many cases. Especially people being fired on mere accusations without evidence. Sometimes on things dating back 10 and 20 years, and sometimes despite the accused had many women he had worked with vouching for him.
People (managements) probably don't do this because they are evil, but because they are afraid that if they don't kick out the "evil" man, they will face a shit-storm of bad PR.
We had a case here in Denmark, where such a firing of a TV host was based on a lawyer investigation, and after about 10 years in courts, it was final decided by our supreme court that the investigation was flawed and performed contrary to good practices. And the lawyer was later judged in civil court based on this to pay compensation.
But the man had not been able to find himself a job for 10 years because of that "investigation". This was a DIRECT result of MeeToo which was revealed both the female management of the TV station and the female lawyer were strongly supporting.
There are a lot of wackos out there, and they are absolutely not all men. Just see for instance Amber Heard.
