Comments
As society becomes increasingly aware of the fact that
hiring practices have been discriminatory against women,
various solutions have been offered to rectify the situation.
One such solution is preferential hiring, specifically of
women who are less qualified than white males who apply for
the job. In this way reparations could be made to women
applicants as a matter of compensatory justice.
