I stopped reading your trolling before I got too far,,why? simply because you selectively quote and base your <br>
BS on that, rather than the full bit, especially about the HRC, moronic twits like you, have no idea, and by the way. do not profess to claim you speak for me when you have no idea on my experiences with working with the HRC or other legal entities.<br>
<br>
I did formulate other comments, but stopped., and deleted them once I woke up to the ranting trollish fool that you are<br>
<br>
dont waste my time, or your time by responding because im getting too old do deal with wankers like you.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

You should stop short too. Such comments are
merely rhetorical and slyly infer some
'naturalness'. There is nothing 'natural' about
it, ie. there is nothing in \the nature of men
which leads you to this. Furthermore any claims
that you just 'kept trying' due to interest and
that's why you are where you are is pure hubris
and fails to recognise the intersection of a whole
collection of cultural and historical factors
which preceded your birth and provided
opportunities which you personally would not be
able to create, as well as those factors which
existed following your birth and during your life
time.
Additionally, the 'we're all in this because we
want to be' ignores the people who would like to
change careers but cannot because they either:
have no other skills, need the money, have
commitments which require them to remain, feel to
depressed or lack confidence to 'move on' or
cannot work out where else they'd rather be.
There are many sly ways of inferring some
superiority or naturalness to a circumstance and
the 'we're all' and 'in the blood' throw-aways are
good examples.

No. It's not. It is to create a circumstance
within which people who feel excluded, who have
few opportunities to become engaged and who are
actively discriminated against will feel these
opportunities speak to them.

Nope. Seriously. No. I don't know why people who
have no information or experience in these matter
continue to throw out queries and questions
without checking some basic facts.
I suggest the following: do exactly what you are
suggesting could possibly bring about this 'query'
from HREOC (Human Rights and Equal Employment
Opportunities Commission), receive your 'knock
back' and then contact HREOC.
I've seen enough 'queries' like yours to be
confident about the outcome.
If like thinkers have some evidence, please
present it as this thread is sorely in need of
examples of reputable theoretical and research
studies which provide a counter balance to the
'projects like Ada are necessary' argument.
All I've read in the counter-arguments so far are
some personal airy-fairy throw away lines which
don't pass muster and which are evidence only of a
lack of education and reading in the area under
discussion.
For the sake of clarity: I'm not familiar enough
with the LA policies and practices to comment on
how the donation has been made, but I am educated
and experienced enough to pass comment on whether
the project has worthwhile goals and meets a need
and whether discrimination against women exists.
There is enough evidence for a blind man to
find...if he has the skills, ability and interest
to find out and the 'natural inclination' to put
in the effort that 'all of have'.

Patrick
