A manager who fairly values his potential hires has a competitive advantage over managers who do not. Statistical results, such as funding for women athletes vs men athletes reflect more the fact that women and men were subjected to different selective pressures during their evolution. That mothers suckle youngsters, not fathers, has nothing to do with the raising of boys.

I agree with this. The complaint contradicted itself, too, claiming that there was systemic discrimination while it also let local operations run amok. Logically, these would seem mutually exclusive arguments. Pleadings can be plead in the alternative to some extend, certainly. But I think this came back to haunt them.
