    Losing an advantage that you were told was an entitlement can feel like something has been taken.

      Yep!! I see this all the time with MRAs they think they’re being oppressed and stripped of rights because they really believe they’re entitled to their privilege

      So they should be angry with the people who lied to them, not the ones telling them the truth.

        They should be, but it’s easier to blame a group that’s marginalized. Ego protecting, even. It wasn’t that she was better in any way that she got the job. Must be DEI.
