Any idea why?
It is called PC, which is designed to suppress freedom of speech and thought in an effort to protect certain classes of people.

Another great liberal contribution to the world.

Her sex organs got her the job and that's sexism against men. Which DOES exist, you 3rd wave feminists!

There's no such thing as sexism against men. Sexism is the term used for discrimination against women. She got the job due to Affirmative Action.

Affirmative action or not she should not have been hired. Affirmative action is not necessarily a good thing. She won't be able to perform as she should.

EDIT - Affirmative action is NEVER a good thing.
