You do need mind reading if you're trying to argue that that is solely because of their gender though...

Solely? I didn't see anything about solely. Anyway, you might say that you can't really know that gender doesn't have anything at all to do with, but if it's a general trend across several thousand employees then it maybe it should ring a bell (I don't have any numbers or anything, just providing examples).

Honestly, people pretending like there's no discrimination at all in the west, and that make fun of any attempt to further equality in the west are just as annoying as those that claim there's discrimination everywhere and that make discrimination cases from everything. There's a balance, folks! The world isn't black and white! (This paragraph wasn't really intended at you in particular, just something I notice whenever feminism is discussed on the forum).

Well there's the whole innocent until proven guilty thing and so far I haven't seen a single shred of evidence that Microsoft base their promotions or pay structures on gender. So until that changes I'll just assume this is one of those cases where someone is just trying to make easy cash from some frivolous lawsuit which happens far too often these days.


Actually it's "Innocent til proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt". Big difference. BTW if you want a illustration of my second paragraph, just take a look at this thread, it's like you people don't even acknowledge that there's even the slightest possibilty of this lawsuit actually being based on reality.

 

BTW Kapi, I could make a company where I only ever hired men, regardless of how good the women applicants to the job was, and using your logic, that would be completely okay, because after all, how would you prove that it was the gender that made me hire the men instead of the women? It's like you think discrimination in the western world doesn't exist at all just because the situation is vastly better than before.
