No shit. The same can be said for minorities.

The article very clearly says that men send out more junk applications where they don't meet the qualifications than women do. The only thing this proves is that men take more stabs in the dark. "Women felt they had to meet 100% of the qualifications, while men felt they had to meet only 60%". What the fuck does that have to do with affirmative action? Or did you not read it and just use the headline to affirm your own biases?

Because men know they have a lower chance of getting hired, so they have to make more attempts

Truly the world of business is biased against men who have to fight each other for every scrap in a matriarchal world where women hog all the power and money.

Also I'm sure we can somehow make it a problem that women apply for jobs they're actually qualified for, instead of men bullshitting their way through life and getting free chances anyways regardless of how inept and unqualified they might be.

When you dont have affirmative action getting you hired you need to cast a wider net. I'm sure if you look at only the jobs the applicants are qualified for women and minorities would still have a far higher probability of being hired.
