Possibly the reason why you get downvoted is because you say silly things like "we lost 'meritocracy'", like it's some sort of team sport, or it's a war and ground was lost to the enemy.

If you want to be treated better, then perhaps not tar everyone who disagrees with you (or even all feminists) with that brush you're using. You say you're talented, so perhaps use that talent to focus your commentary appropriately, rather than engage in silly us vs them 'sides'.

We (myself and others) did "lose" meritocracy. It was a valid philosophy and important part of business culture until recently when it's become banned by hr/pr.

I'm just disagreeing. I'm also not complaining about down voting. I was BANNED; that's the type of reaction I was talking about. I'm not saying we should ban feminists from discussion. I don't have to agree with people to allow them to speak their mind. Apparently that doesn't work for non-feminists though. That's precisely my point.
