Of course a woman could do it, that is why I said "most"Affirmative action forced their hand to offer opportunities not previously open to femalesThey are not honorable if those are the only options available to youI have a complete understanding of it. It uses characteristics of certain groups to benefit them that if used to deny something to them, people like you would whine like bitches.
Are you saying that secretaries, nurses, teachers, and cashiers aren't honorable jobs?
They weren't the only options available. Saying so is an excuse. The fact that certain fields tended to have more men or more women wasn't because women couldn't. Social factors played a big role.
You make it out as if a female that wanted to be a doctor, lawyer, etc. was told no you can't do that because you're female. Didn't happen and you know it.
Affirmative action is nothing more than a government program that tells people who can't do it own their own we'll make people do it on your behalf.
However, most law schools and med schools offered limited opportunities to women. Women graduated college and were offered jobs as secretaries
Affirmative action said you had to give qualified applicants a chance. If you did not have minorities or women in advanced positions, you had to show why
Affirmative Action only applied to government jobs and those seeking government contracts
You didn't say most. YOU said "not previously open to females".
It was applied in a manner that made race and gender a qualification.
Matters not the limited scope. It still used race and gender as a qualification just to certain groups.
