Why so many "anti-feminists" in the atheist community?

Would you be contented having the right to apply for work even though it meant that you are less likely to be offered the job and even if you were successful, were going to be on a lesser wage for doing exactly the same work just because you are a man?

Would you still be contented knowing that you are also less likely to get promotion?

Would you still be contented knowing that your work was possibly going to be valued less because of common-place biases about what your gender was capable of despite whatever quality of work you produce?

Thank for the reponse, I was glad to get a good answer, and realize there is indeed now that there seems to be not only gender bias but also racial bias in jobs. My question is now is there a really a pay gap between the sexes? Your link gave solid evidence of gender bias but not about pay wages. But aside from gender bias do you feel any other forms of discrimination that is felt by women?

Personally I understand that there is a problem of bias as much as we consciously hate it, we still do it, I think a way to remedy this situation is being able to censor names and leaving any questions that identify your gender or race out of applications.
