You are not allowed to make protected groups feel harassed or discriminated against. Women are a protected group.
Its a federal workplace law. A company will correctly fire you if you cause women to feel harassed or discriminated. Peoples understanding of whats allowable needs to catch up with the implications of the laws.
- ikeyany 9y agoThat is true. But I ask you this: do companies hire less technically capable engineers to boost diversity numbers? Do you believe that it does not happen at all, in any sense? If you think that this does not happen, then how do companies boost the numbers of non-traditional candidates? Google, as smart as they are, should be able to easily and conclusively prove beyond a reasonable doubt that this does not happen. Yet they resort to silencing.

You’re suggesting that they should prove a negative. The burden of proof is on the party that accuses them of a given issue.
- ikeyany 9y agoNo, I'm suggesting that they aren't smart at handling certain topics.
