Top Engineering/CS programs are still overwhelmingly male so I am going to view Females with suspicion

You fix the issue by getting rid of the diversity program, its a similar issue for African Americans if you want me to not judge you get rid of Affirmative Action.  Otherwise, I have ever right to assume you are a diversity/affirmative action hire and not as qualified.[/quote]
You have every right to assume whatever you want. And your employer still has every right to fire you if circulating your assumptions in a 10 page manifesto violates its company code of conduct. It also has every right not to hire you at all. That's the free market that you love so much.

Regardless, it's funny that AA makes you predisposed to judge all women and minorities as unqualified unless proven otherwise. In my experience, most women and URMs in tech are top performers, since they would have dropped out long ago if they weren't. While white men exist at all rungs of the ladder, sheer numbers and basic stats tells me that the majority are mediocre. As a result, I assume all men I meet in tech are mediocre until proven otherwise. I have every right to make that assumption, and I can back mine up with math :)

-- Woman in Tech whom you can assume is unqualified if you want, but my paycheck and industry recognition allows me to not GAF what you assume about me[/quote]
