A bit miffed about equal treatment? I'm sure we are all aware, that we haven't actually balanced everything out yet. The playing field has been tipped for so many centuries in one direction- the only way to get a level playing field, is to tip it the other way.
Changing laws, awareness and so on, hasn't worked. There has been loads of time, to adjust things more fairly, and yet, we still haven't.
You must have noticed too, that we still have accusations of tick-boxing. As if, nobody could genuinely be more competent than a middle-aged, able-bodied white male. And that isn't because of "divisiveness", it's because people seem to think that we can go from unfairness to fair, without any real adjustment.
