I could try to explain it but I've tried with Boomers thousands of times and the problem is that they are stuck in the 20th century and don't see the reality of the 21st.

Part of that is subjective.  Do you need or value a job more, or respect?  I would think most would expect and desire both.  Being arbitrarily denied either out of bigotry and hatred seems problematic.

It is also a question of whether the university in question is practicing clear discrimination.   If everyone above a certain rank happens to be white male and protestant, I would favor the SJW over the bigots.  If the balance is close enough to the statistical norm of the local population, if there is no clear evidence of bigots behaving badly, I'd mutter something about the SJW not being an (expletive deleted) and walk on by.

But it's not just job markets, it's how people treat one another.  My sister is a teacher.  There is an increasing bullying problem.  I was bullied enough as a kid that I don't like it one bit.  At this point I'm less concerned about job equality than people treating each other with respect.  Suppressing prejudice and hatred is a long hard process.  Taking a large step backwards seems like a bad idea.

There are people on the blue side describing themselves as 'nasty women' as well.  That seems to be one possible direction the country is heading...  nasty versus deplorable.  Pardon if I lack enthusiasm.  I'll try to stick with the less provoking 'partisan', but you are a nasty deplorable Xer.  Civility doesn't seem to be your way.
