Wrong? According to who? I speak for the UK market, of which I have significant experience sourcing, interviewing, hiring and placing developers of all shapes and sizes over a number of years. As far as the UK market is concerned, my claim is categorically correct. I find it incredible that you consider my other statement offensive. I posed that statement as a counter-argument to your original point and you're taking my counter-argument and twisting it into a completely subjective retort. There's a simple reason why this post got flagged off the front page almost as quickly as it appeared and that's because the entire debate is completely circular and pointless. I've yet to see a submission to this site that presents an attempted solution to this issue and the reason for that is because you can't solve a problem that doesn't exist.

Perhaps it was not your intention, but your post read as if women applicants are interviewed no matter what, and if they are deemed "good enough", they're hired for the sake of balance. That's what I found both incorrect and offensive, speaking from my own experience (though not based in the UK). Apologies if this was not the case. I'm also not the same commenter as the parent you were originally speaking with, which could also be some of the confusion.
