That is not the poster's point.

The poster contends women are being prejudicially hired as "diversity" rather men who have "sacrificed" and worked hard.

"lolwut" indeed.

It's the truth even if you don't like it.

Your perceived truth maybe. The truth you’re looking for to fit your world view.

Are you asserting that companies in a free market are intentionally hiring people unqualified for their jobs and paying them wages as if they were qualified?

To what end?

Right, but certain careers have figured out that women are, on average, better at the socialization game and thus, broadly speaking, a better fit for the job. Ain't nobody "diversity" hiring on the oil rigs or other jobs where the physical act is more important than interpersonal interaction.

However, it is difficult to measure those positive traits for what they are, so employers are selecting based on gender hoping for positive correlation. But that's illegal, so "diversity" hiring was created as a scapegoat to help avoid legal fire.
