A lawsuit such as this one could have a chilling effect on those efforts if companies begin to fear that promoting women or minorities exposes them to claims of “reverse discrimination.”

But it's not "reverse discrimination. "

It's discrimination.

“We worked really hard to have a gender-blind environment based on achievement, and I think that’s why women, and everyone, flourished.”

I literally spit out my coffee laughing so hard.

The irony of a company that is overwhelmingly male being targeted for gender discrimination against men is not lost on Joelle Emerson, a former women’s rights employment lawyer whose startup Paradigm works with tech companies to improve the diversity of their workforces.

The irony that Joella Emerson doesn't have a clue is not lost on me. Of course discrimination happens when firms are driven to favor women because people like Joelle Emerson otherwise sue them. If Yahoo's bosses were already mostly women there would be no need to discriminate against men.

Once again the question arises: are feminists stupid or immoral. She has to know this basic fact of her business so, I'd say immoral.

Besides: " In 2015, 37 percent of global Yahoo employees were female". That's not overwhelming. Overwhelming is, say, the number of men among hte trash men or the number of women among the teachers.

I hope he wins.

His situation sounds completely ridiculous.

I've been in like situations before.
