    Multiple evidence based studies show that gender and race affect success in life. Just because everyone is having a shit time doesn’t mean some demographics don’t have it worse. We’re a long way off from equality, and even further away from true equity.

      I never said that wasn’t true. I said men, but I’ll extend that here to include the racial descriptor white, don’t have it as good as others think they do. Unless you mean rich white men but then “white” and “men” aren’t the qualities doing the heavy lifting. Your last sentence is getting closer to what I said.

        I was responding, primarily, to this:

        The system doesn’t care if you have a penis or not. Some participants in it certainly do but the system itself is equally shitty to anyone not born with shit loads of money.

        I’m saying there are systemic biases.
