I think you need to familiarize yourself with employment law. Specifically the idea of a protected class:

Protected Class: The groups protected from the employment discrimination by law. These groups include men and women on the basis of sex; any group which shares a common race, religion, color, or national origin; people over 40; and people with physical or mental handicaps. Every U.S. citizen is a member of some protected class, and is entitled to the benefits of EEO law. However, the EEO laws were passed to correct a history of unfavorable treatment of women and minority group members.

The idea that men are being discriminated against is a farce.

It's dscrimination by definition if you're throwing out resumes based on the color of someone's skin and what is between their legs. You can argue all you want that it isn't illegal, but that doesn't make it any less alienating for those of us on the wrong side of it. Equality of opportunity is what we should aim for not equality of outcome.
