I personally get even more upset when even left-wing reasons don’t come up with it. In our office we refused to hire a suitable by qualification (by resume, at least) programmer, then an admin. Tech.lead (one of those who need approval) every time says he won't take because a woman. On the collective question "and what?" the answer from the tech.led was never received.
