Yep, and it's primarily straight white men who feel this way.

Yet the truth is that white men are the beneficiaries of the single greatest affirmative action program in world history. It’s called “world history.”

White men so stacked the deck that everyone else was pretty much excluded from playing at all. When those others did begin to play, the field was so uneven that white men got a massive head start, and everyone else had to play with enormous handicaps.

Maybe actually having to play evenly matched, on a level playing field, is too frightening for a gender that stakes its entire identity on making sure it wins every time.
