>I'm sure the girl went on to do great things, she was bright, friendly, and a hard worker. You made your own counter-point here. Many entrenched systems would never have given her a chance to begin with. Maybe she got some advantages early on here career, we can take the tally of them if you're willing to quantify all of the explicit and implicit advantages that her straight white male counterparts got along the way as well (including not having coworkers project "embarrassment" onto them when they receive an accolade). Sounds like the system elevated a bright young talent, recognized her, and by your assumption, she went on to be well-deserving of the opportunity.
