Just the different energy you get from them are refreshing enough to make your work just a tiny bit less tedious. But c'mon, it's disheartening the see how obvious they are with their preference for female hires. It's common knowledge employees really really want to hire women (unless you've been living under a rock for the last 30 years) but it just feels so damn unfair to be denied an opportunity because of what gender I was born into, you know? How is this different from Hitler killing people because of something they were born into? This is sexism and I'm against it. Simple as that.
What opportunity have you ever been denied for having been born with a dick? Maybe it's not your having a dick that's the problem, so much as being a dick?
Food for thought. 0/10 on the godwin, btw, goddmanit you didn't even try.

Those "different choices" people make are deeply rooted in gender roles. It's telling, for example, that women are/feel compelled to make a choice between career and children..whereas men....do not. We expect both, seamlessly. Amusingly enough, I went the stay at home daddy route fulltime a few years back, and I;m still at it off and on (I have family living with me to watch em now)...but it didn;t cause a blip in my employment. My wife took fmla for a few months and had to go back to work as a receptionist...quite a fall from division director. She;s spent the time since then working her way back up...and there's -always-...-always- the question of whether or not she intends to make it a career or go home to watch the kids someday, at every repeateted interview for every position that she's already held before. I wonder when they;re going to stop wondering about her...if they haven't stopped wondering by now. Nobody ever asks me that, though...lol. She gets the "theres a gap in your employment here, this is a concern" talk....I get the "that experience probably gave you useful skills" compliment. It's just expected of her, but it somehow speaks to my exceptional character.
