I didn't post the parent because I agree with this law completely, but to bring up the point.

The advocates of this law would probably argue that everyone discriminates all the time, including by gender.

I am on the fence. When I was younger I would have been firmly on the hands off libertarian side. Then I saw what a sham meritocracy can actually be and how much success is based on who you know. The more I saw of the high corporate and financial world the more liberal I became. Do some business consulting work and meritocracy starts to looks like survivorship bias.
