The establishment, enforcement, interpretation and review of laws in a manner that is unbiased with regards to gender with the goal of gender equal legal outcomes.
If there are male and female coaccused and one is offered a plea bargain to testify against the other at a trial, there would be an equal chance that either the male or female is offered the plea bargain resulting in affirmative justice.
There would be an equal percentage (ie 50%) of inmates being male and female.

Get the affirmative justice mug.An action that forgets that Asian are also a minority. Makes it harder for them to get into a good college, jobs, better life, etc.
Asian: Because of Affirmative Action, I have to get a 1550 on SAT and 4.9 GPA to get into a UC school.

Get the Affirmative Action mug.In America, Affirmative Action was a product of the Great Society policies of President Lyndon Baines Johnson. It was first codified into law under a series of Executive Orders (not approved by Congress, in other words), which stated that munitions manufacturers including private firms doing business with the federal government should "take affirmative action" in hiring minorities - at the time defined almost solely as African Americans.
As the Vietnam War dragged on under President Richard Milhous Nixon, Affirmative Action became part of a wider government program to bribe inner city blacks to get with the program and support their government. Of course, Affirmative Action, welfare (started under FDR in the 1930s) and other government handouts did nothing to increase the love that black people had for the federal government.
By 1978 liberal activism was under attack. President Jimmy Carter had expanded Johnson's liberal social programs to their ultimate extreme, and white, middle class Americans began to look toward the Republican Party and their rising star, Ronald Reagan, for new political direction. That same year, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 against quotas for the first time in the landmark California Board of Regents vs. Allan Bakke decision. However, Affirmative Action was far from dead and buried.
Today Affirmative Action remains rooted in American policy, although most Americans including many African-Americans find Affirmative Action outmoded for the much less racist atmosphere of the 21st Century.
Inexplicably Affirmative Action still exists, even after the election of Barack Obama.

Affirmative Action put that white guy with a college degree in the unemployment line, while that black guy who can't even write his own name got the promotion.
Asians and Jews are also targets of racism, but they get none of the benefits of Affirmative Action. It's punishment for their success, I assume.
Jesse "Affirmative Action" Jackson got Nike to loan him $600 million dollars after threatening a boycott. What an extortionist piece of shit he is.

Get the AFFIRMATIVE ACTION mug.The feeling that you wasted an awesome sticker that you probably should have used elsewhere. Often the result of sticker paralysis, and similar to Tattoo Remorse
Dude 1: "why so glum?"
Dude 2: "Affixation remorse"
Dude 1: "What?"
Dude 2: I stuck that sweet vintage Apple sticker on my old PS2 Guitar Hero Guitar. I never even play that game any more. I should have put it on the rear window of my truck"
Dude 1: "what a waste"
Dude 2: "Affixation remorse"

Get the Affixation Remorse mug.A cheapshot program mandated by some government agencies and institutions to give preference to Africans based on their skin color alone, it can be used by females and certain other races as well, but africans are the main benefactor, hence the definition.

Get the affirmative mug.Kamala Harris is an Affirmative Action VP! She was the most hated candidate of any politicians running & did not get a single delegate, dropping out before the debate in her home state of California to save the embarrassment! Joe Biden ended up winning the democrat nomination and because Donald Trump is an unbeatable candidate, the deep state & Obama’s Shadow government needed a way to make it appear as if Joe Biden isn’t racist due to all his racial slurs like “I don’t want my kids going to school in a racial jungle” when talking about desegregation of schools & giving the eulogy for a former KKK chapter leader & calling him a great friend and mentor (Robert Byrd in 2010) , So to to change the narrative that Basement Joe isn’t a racist corrupt pedophile, they needed to choose a black female as his running mate! So Kamala Harris won that role! So being that she was selected simply because she is black & not a single person voted for her, she is the first Affirmative Action Vice President! She did not earn her spot with votes but rather Affirmative Action because she was added at the last min to keep doing nothing to earn the black vote! Because as Joe said “You ain’t black if you vote for Trump”
Hey did you see that new Affirmative Action Harris memorial in DC they put up!
Yes, they call it a glass breaker being that she is the first Black Vice President. But I am not sure why they did affirmative action for her, because he parents owned slaves! Our government is seriously fucked!
