297. What gave you the right to act as a one-woman affirmative action crew?
You yourself just said that you gave the women in your employ "the plum assignments" because you felt it was the politically correct thing to do. Nowhere in your post did you even suggest that the people you bestowed with your grace were more meritorious in terms of ability to complete the projects than their male peers.

I'm assuming nothing. I'm reading what you said. You proudly said they were given unfair preference - by you.

Only a poor engineer would think a field is leveled by tilting it the other direction.
