“is offputting enough”
That would be a sensibility of yours and not a rational argument.
“implication that young women are not competent, and the generalization overall, and the unstated implication that HR has anywhere near the power that you ascribe to it”
I made no such statements. “Many” is not the same as “all”. I include employees of headhunting companies as HR workers and these do have power when it comes to early screening including the assessment of qualification. I had plenty such talks where I could not even make the other understand what I do. Also I do use the term HR in a broader sense meaning the entire system only including those who work in the HR department, but not restricted to them.
Thank you for commenting.
