Stop saying that diversity means lowering the bar

Well because the selection pool of women tend to be much smaller than men, you either have to work harder to recruit and retain female talent or quality will suffer.

Howeve when many firms go the extra mile to obtain the top tier female talent from a small pool, we'll be back to the problem that it becomes impossibly hard to atttact the right talent from the female pool.

Unless the pool fundamentally changes, this probably will result in a futile exercise. People of course hope that the pool will expand as a result of more aggressive hiring, but if this doesn't materialize, either we were unlucky and the right stars didn't line up, or James Damore was right, there are gender differences at work here.
