women aren't necessarily less discriminatory towards women than men are. i think the main thing i'm seeing is that you don't really see a systemic problem. the system creates these issues... the individuals within it learn the system and perpetuate it. although the privileged benefit most on average, that doesn't mean everyone with more privileged status is an evil discriminator and everyone with less privileged status is free of all possible bias. really, most people are just people, and i think a good 2/3 of them at least are probably well meaning. as i was trying to point out earlier, this problem is a lot bigger than the individual.
also @Hitta, if the stuff you mentioned is considered in the hiring process and used to reject an applicant it's actually illegal because it is discrimination based on sex. so it's not just that i'm saying it's discrimination.
