Here are the last two paragraphs in a Washington Post item today, involving admissions discrimination against women:
“So if you’re a recruiter for a Fortune 500 company and two Vassar résumés come across your desk—one from a woman, the other from a man—keep this in mind: It was almost twice as hard for the woman to get into Vassar as it was for the man.
“Maybe they’re equal candidates. But if you’re playing the odds, I’d say hire the woman.”
This, of course, is the hated “stigmatization” argument that our side of the aisle uses against racial admissions preferences; I wonder if this occurred to the author here.
