Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
A measure aimed at boosting female employment in the workforce may actually be making it worse, a major study has found.
Leaders of the Australian public service will today be told to "hit pause" on blind recruitment trials, which many believed would increase the number of women in senior positions. Blind recruitment means recruiters cannot tell the gender of candidates because those details are removed from applications. It is seen as an alternative to gender quotas and has also been embraced by Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Victoria Police and Westpac Bank.
In a bid to eliminate sexism, thousands of public servants have been told to pick recruits who have had all mention of their gender and ethnic background stripped from their CVs. The assumption behind the trial is that management will hire more women when they can only consider the professional merits of candidates. Their choices have been monitored by behavioural economists in the Prime Minister's department — colloquially known as "the nudge unit".
Professor Michael Hiscox, a Harvard academic who oversaw the trial, said he was shocked by the results and has urged caution. "We anticipated this would have a positive impact on diversity — making it more likely that female candidates and those from ethnic minorities are selected for the shortlist," he said. "We found the opposite, that de-identifying candidates reduced the likelihood of women being selected for the shortlist."

In Michigan they have a law against that. Governor Snyder made it a felony, which is fantastic. It's done by what are called Dawoodi Bohra Muslims. You probably never heard of them but I read about it on Breitbart. Who knew there were Muslims in Michigan? I'll tell you, they're very sick. At a very young age, they sew the pussy shut. The Muslims, not Breitbart. Don't get me wrong, I love it when the ladies go under the knife for a nip & tuck. Very sexy! Except Mika, her face is a mess. Plastic surgery is terrific, but they should wait until they're 16. Just my opinion, I think they should wait. So they know what a pussy is for before they get it sewn up. Like I said, just my personal opinion, wait till they know what it's for! 🇺🇸
