Yeah, I wonder why that is. Could it be that getting hired and promoted is much harder so a lot of women don’t bother? I wonder how you could fix that…

Around 58% of college students are women. Of black grad students, the vast majority of degrees go to women, 71.5% of masters and 65.9% of doctoral/medical. Tech companies are starved for female representation. And you think it's somehow harder for women to make it?

I'm curious why you think men are under represented in college then. I'm sure it's conveniently not because they think they'll have a hard time succeeding and "don't bother."

I’m supposed to think they won’t be underqualified?

You’re clearly a heavily biased individual, so who knows what you’re going to believe.

In what way am I biased? Use statistical probability and logic to answer the question, that's all I'm doing. If I narrow my pool to a smaller subset, then are my chances of getting the most qualified people diminishes. Right?

Yes, good thing they’re IBM and can can pick the highly qualified women from that smaller pool.

You certainly see the problem with this. They're not the only ones doing it, and even if they were, they're still passing up more qualified people, assuming parity in the rates of qualified people in the 20/80% distribution.

Let’s be real, when you’re looking for an attorney, the most important thing for you is how much they charge.

Wrong. Out of the three I've gotten, I look for their specialization to the task I want first. Notice how you completely evaded the question?

Justice Thomas proves that merely sharing someone’s race does not represent that constituents of that race.

If you want to talk about someone who is incredibly unqualified, he’s your guy.

Oh really, care to provide any evidence of that? I assume you’re an extremely qualified lawyer? Maybe a professor of law? (see how dumb these questions are?)

Only anecdotal.

So no.

Personal testimony is admissible evidence in court, so it's not nothing. Just not useful evidence for this discussion.

Ah yes, the lawsuit. What happened in that lawsuit?

The lawsuit was stayed pending binding arbitration proceedings, meaning they settled privately out of court. I think the employment contract he had forced him into private arbitration.
