Discrimination along protected attributes such as gender would be highly illegal though, so no doubt you’d have tons of evidence to present beyond “gossipy HR ladies”.

I didn't mention gossip at all. Are you pretending to quote something I never said, to just perfectly illustrate the bad faith nonsense that is ever-injected into even simple conversations about this topic?

It might be worth Googling James Damore as an early example of this chilling effect.

ok so no evidence of highly illegal mass gender based discrimination.

This seems like a very roundabout way of saying there was no evidence of discrimination against women :-/

Where are you going with this? Because if "no evidence == did not happen", then that's true for the decades prior to the 90s, right?
