While it was good for the girls who got hired (edging out guys who were more qualified), it annoyed a lot of guys who had better grades.

So what? It's not like those men are going to find all employment doors shut to them. They weren't guaranteed jobs at IBM, and the assumption that they should have a say in the firm's hiring criteria and strategic goals demonstrates an almost laughable sense of entitlement.

Of course. When women don't want to be discriminated against, it's an issue of rights and equality. When men don't want to be discriminated against, it's a laughable sense of entitlement.
