Therefore the standard has dropped. Below min? Probably not but still below what it could be.
Now you may be perfectly happy with that as an outcome (bottom dwellers and those who need the leg up often are) but when I put my family on an aeroplane or sign on for a tour of duty I’d prefer to know that the best people have been employed, not those who only meet ‘min standard’.
HAHAHAHA, talk about trying to twist your way out of that one. A standard (and remember this, it was your choice of word, not mine) is a measure, it doesn't change if it's exceeded. In the past when women were automatically excluded that didn't seem to result in a problem for THE STANDARD, so why would preferencing women over men result in a reduction in THE STANDARD, unless of course you believe that women overall are less capable than men. Is that what you believe?
Logic's a bitch and something you seem to have trouble with.
