I often wonder how much fear of litigation factors into replies.

No one is going to come out and say "you're too old" or "we are under diversity pressure" or "you won't fit in with our all-female team", but I feel these are factors.

I did apply for a job where the company was all female top to bottom, and sure enough the position was filled by a woman.

I was asked in an interview "how would you feel if your direct report was a woman?" My only answer was that I had never had a direct report that was male.
