    It’s not misogyny to recognize that certain groups of people are systematically disadvantaged and to want to counteract that.

    It’s also not misogyny to pay attention to the growing body of research that shows that having people if different backgrounds on the same team results in better solutions.

    It IS misogyny if people are hiring idiots just because they have a vulva. But no one is really doing that because that violates the profit motive and goes against capitalism.

      I think you missed the point. Women often change their names professionally to get attention that they wouldn’t have gotten had they presented a more feminine name. I’ve known multiple Christinas who went by Chris for this reason.

      OP is saying that doing this is a double edged sword, because if it works as intended, you’re working for a person who would have otherwise discriminated against you.
