EncFS is horrible.

bothumanon Getting to work on diversity at Google

If Google achieves a 51% Female 49% Male ratio, is this good? Supporters of forced diversity are implying it is, but why?

If there is something gained by having gender X, then you are saying that genders are not equal. If there is no difference, then why are we doing this? Why are we basing employment on gender anyway?

I'd like to see stats regarding people looking for work who are successful and those that are not. If a woman wants to stay at home, can we not accept her choice? If a man wants to stay at home while the woman is breadwinner, is this not okay too?
