The discussion about affirmative action and sexism on the HN front page (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1420553 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1420553) reminded me of this amusing satire piece by Douglas Hofstadter (of Godel, Escher, Bach fame). Only tangentially related but might still be interesting.
