Oh my, opening with a Nietzsche-reference! Daring and enticing!

I remember when the wife was in gender studies (was called "women's studies" back then) and some of her fellows at the institution for women's studies managed to get approval for an experiment:

A couple of public and private contractors agreed to use sex-blinded job applications, so the one doing the evaluation and deciding who to call to an interview knew nothing more than formal qualifications and listed experience.

The hypothesis was, this would mean increasing the percentage of women getting hired, since it was pre-supposed that women were being subjected to negative discrimination.

The opposite happened.

Then the experiment was cancelled and memory-holed.
