    we are not discussing vague problems with subjective solutions. in tech interviews you either solve the problem correctly or you don’t. and the evaluation is not subjective. just like the person who said that my comments about car haters made me sound like a billionare boot licker, the creep accusations also say something about the accusers for making baseless projections. even more so with the added “ogling at them”, I’m sure that came from somewhere, just not from my comment…

      Yeah, the assumptions come from somewhere. From having men ogling at me since I began growing breasts. Women are constantly sexualized and I have 100% heard people say that they wouldn’t mind their company hiring more women because they like to look at them. I never even said that’s what you do, I said that’s what your wording made it sound like. So if anyone made assumptions here, it is you.

      In regards to the tech interviews - I don’t see how you didn’t think about the possibility of both a woman and a man answering the question correctly. We then return to the problem of “similar candidates, who will get picked?” Which, in the past, would have always been the man. Assuming they even asked a woman in for an interview.
