>If you genuinely believe this: that it makes no difference, why would you choose to have an all-men judging panel?
I didn't choose. Perhaps the people that did, didn't have a lot of, or maybe any, women to choose from? Or perhaps, and I know this is going to piss off a lot of people, but perhaps the best judges they could find just happened to be men?
In any case, my mind, unlike yours apparently, did not immediately jump to malice or the soft bigotry of them "just not knowing" they fucked up due to innate misogyny.
