What if I started a company, and all good candidates were male, and the women weren't on par? What if no women applied at all? I don't get this whole gender thing. If statistically less women apply to a STEM degree, or tech related job, how is it the fault of "white males"? White male guilt at it's finest if you ask me.<p>If you actively see discrimination, do something about it. I actually work with a team that is 90% women, it just happened that way. The male applicants sucked, the women were great. My friends teams however, are only male, because they had no female applicants.<p>Why try to force equality? Am I missing something?<p>What if the person doing the hiring silently disregards all female applicants? How would you tackle that problem?<p>OP if you had a company would you hire a less qualified woman than a more qualified man in the name of equality?<p>This movement seems counter-intuitive. If the applicant is good, hire them, male or female, young or old. Our team consists of elder women, young fresh grads, interns, and working class middle aged women as well, all across the spectrum. We all mingle just fine and still shoot the shit.<p>Hiring GOOD people is the only thing that should matter. Throw out all this ideology and affirmative action nonsense.
