Good to hear this. I am just starting to realize this in my own career. Generally, if you are a white male and want to advance, you really have to build your own success outside of the system. The diversity employees can basically just ride their way to the top, by staying in the system. And even moreso than males of minority race, women have the most power of all since they have the ability to eliminate men who stand in their way by waving their magic sexual-harassment wand. It definitely didn't used to be this way.

I didn't work for the government for long enough to get a very good idea, but I think the defense sector and government engineering and research jobs and so on are not as bad. You will still see it some, but I think for anything that relates to national security in the least, they tend to be pretty old school and can also get away with pretty much anything.
