Gay womans Engineers month
Womans Engineers month
And so on. With clapping and whistling.

He stood up and said what about straight white guy engineers month and the whole place went quiet. He said the hole mood of the meeting went south after that.
What's amazing is that (seemingly) none in those groups realizes that they are being treated like retards. I mean, do we meet someone who is Black(or woman, or gay...) and an engineer, and say "Wow. An Engineer, even though you're Black! (or woman, or gay...) We should celebrate your overcoming your obvious deficits to become an engineer. -- How about we dedicate a MONTH to your awesomeness of overcoming that huge deficit."

Maybe we should, if they are too stupid to see the insult.
