:o they've invented mind reading technology that can prove decisions were made on a discriminatory basis? Why can't I remember seeing any news about that, you'd think the invention of mind reading technology would have been big news wouldn't you?

You don't need to mind reading to see what gender gets the better benefits and bonus packages Kapi.

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

Not really. You just have to prove that one group is being treated unfairly, not that the unjust treatment was intentional. Whether or not Microsoft made conscious decisions to descriminate against women is besides the point in the eyes of the law. 

*At least that's how anti-discriminatory legislation generally reads.
