I understand what you're saying, but what happens when they DO directly affect me? And they have.
I am not one to rant about the glass ceiling, lower wages for women, or a lot of those general broad topics that can't really be proven or have been proven to have reasons behind it. However, when I go into a job interview and I was selected to go in because they believed my qualifications met a certain set they were looking for, why should my sex matter? If they saw my sex on my resume based on my female first name, wouldn't they already know I was a woman?
