Alright, I think I am beginning to understand both sides of the argument a little more now. However, I pose a question.

How would you feel if there were certain governmental programs out there that helped only whites? Similarly, like Shades had said, what if there were white only/male only groups?

I completely understand that certain groups/rewards encourage women/minorities to do a certain something, be it engineering, police work, or whatever. I also am going to assume that the reasoning behind this is because white males dominate the market in these specific industries. However, why don't I see any programs out there for a male to be a hairdresser? Exotic Dancer? Paralegal?

I hope you see what I am trying to get at, and why I am not yet convinced that it is alright to have some programs out there for women/minorities with the argument that in that certain field, there are few of them, as I am sure there are fields where they are many fewer men than women...
