Can you elaborate? I mean, all off-the-cuff gender comments aside,
this is technically illegal, is it not? What types of technical jobs
are -truly- female only? And, did you somehow feel that the legal
system was also against you, to the extent that you just felt like
walking away from it and not fighting? I'm not trolling here, just
trying to understand this better.
