Using my education as a case study, in most lectures I went to, females to male ratios were at least 20 to 1, yet most females working in IT are actually promoted faster. That means that not only is the industry biased towards promoting females, they are also hiring them quicker. Thats discrimination. Its ignored, because we have to correct it apparently. Thing is, by being sexist, we are being sexist. That is the actual ill. Not whom we are being sexist against.
Whingers are winner Thry, and generally racism has very little to do with discrimination or deliberate bias, although I appreciate racism or sexism is often the publicly broadcast reason/excuse for explaining away a rejection. it has to be that way I suppose, or else they arrive at the conclusion they are just second rate at whatever position they tried to apply for!
In your industry it's particularly relevant, because there are 10x as many male job applicants rejected for every position, yet we do not usually here them discussing sexism! Yet we are ear-wormed by the media and feminists about equal representation. btw., I see the same in science, industry and education, ironically the education situation is apparently inverse with a shortage of males in the industry.
But we have to be careful, because terms like racism and sexism are plastic, and are frequently re-framed to suit the debate!
