I think it's the opposite because companies are trying to change the status quo and get more women involved (which I'm not complaining about... please don't attack me.) Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!

Similarly, if the fact is what was written in a document, do you cite the doc’s existence or the specific language? Seems like the line between fact and law gets really blurry, e.g. “The Contract states: [Arbitration Provision]“ versus “The Contract has a binding arbitration provision.” (California venue)
