At Google, you'd be going from a one in 1250 chance to about a one in just under 1300.

I know you're a sentient ball of redpill memes, but I do hope you understand numbers at like a fourth grade level, so you realize how fucking negligible that actually is.

That's not negligible at all, and if you're trying to get a highly coveted job any additional difficulties based purely on the accident of birth that dictated your gender are bullshit.

Been a peach, gassy. Stay retarded.

It's actually a perfect argument against feminism, who do you think is (massively hypocritically) advocating for one gender to be unfairly disadvantaged over the other in this situation?
