Sincere question.
The only two candidates are women applying for the same position. Education, work history, training and experience are identical between both canidates.
Potential employee A
Potential employee B
Which canidate do you go with and why?

Is that how each showed up for the interview?
Is it a receptionist, warehouse worker or salesperson?

Yes, we long for the good old days when we didn't have to be told what was wrong with our thinking. Except those days weren't so good for those who were being discriminated against. Every day. All day. By many different people. From the beginning of their lives. Just because of the color of their skin or their gender.

Good gravy man, are you daft? Mimi gets the job!
But seriously, never had those extremes to deal with.
What we did at my last job was keep a huge stack of job applications in a drawer. Every time we got a new one, we'd put it at the back of the drawer. Every time we needed to hire someone, we pulled the application from the front and gave them a call.
I know it's been 2 years, but still interested in a job? Nope? Thanks.

When we got someone that said yes, we'd bing em in for an interview. If they passed muster with qualifications, they were hired regardless of what they looked like. If not:

And so on.
The only time we ran into trouble was when HR took over applicants through on-line process. Then they'd send us 5 interviewees. THAT's when you run into trouble because you have to pick. Even with that, if there's a tie, first one that got the application in wins.
Easy peasy and able to defend in court.

My mom lived in Cincinnati and that certainly wasn't the case there. Discrimination against black people was rampant. Indiana, where I live now, had as I recall, the largest per capita membership in the KKK in that time period.
Anyhow. I'm gonna guess we should probably start winding this discussion down. I'm gonna bow out.

My dad got his law degree late in life at age 55 and worked in a federal office. The year would have been about 1985. He told a really bad joke. There was a women who was very pro woman’s rights. The joke was “how many lawyers does it take to clean a toilet “? Her ears perked up and she rushed over to hear the punch line thinking it was going to insult lawyers. The punch line was “none, it’s women’s work”. A bad joke but her reaction was what was so funny so of course everyone in the office busted out laughing. She threatened to bring him up for ****** harassment charges for the joke. She didn’t but these days she probably would have.
