And let's be real regarding ageism, you only get about 10 years of not being "too old", and then for the rest of your career it's going to be an issue whether big or small. Part of being a professional is navigating all of the BS you will get if you are not under 35, white, straight, and male.

>Part of being a professional is navigating all of the BS you will get if you are not under 35, white, straight, and male.

Navigating unjust discrimination like a white male not getting hired due to an employer's fear of fines from the EEOC because the EEOC arbitrarily decides there's already too many white males in the company?

At least that white male can take a step back and make himself more competitive on a resume by getting a more specialized degree, although he will have to figure out how to overcome discriminatory affirmative action quotas during the admissions process.

If a white male decides the job search is discriminatorily stacked against him, he might decide it would be better to just give up on it altogether and start a small business, but he can forget about the good kinds of SBA financing: white males aren't eligible.

Nice flame-bait.

But are you talking about employability? Because western tech employers literally compete for token females.

Nope, wasn't trying to bait any flames, just making the point that virtually everyone has to deal with some sort of -ism, even straight white males will find it eventually with ageism.
