I don't know what we can deduced from these anecdotal evidences. But would that be legal for a US company or university (e.g. academic job) to enforce quotas based on gender?

BTW, I remember a Facebook (or Google, dont remember) recruiter mentioning gender diversity in their company. He told me that they tried to be as diverse as possible, but that the bar was the same for everybody...

You can show that recruiter this picture:

Google at this point isn't even trying to hide that it's discriminating against white men, because it can get away with it. Still, I think it's a great company even with all its faults (I say it as a white man).

I count something like 20 people that look like women and 17 that look like men. Sounds pretty even to me?
