"a man" is kind of an understatement. Giantbomb didn't just hire "a man"

Look at the credentials of the person who was hired, and you will see why he was hired. If you want to set the grounds that we should be hiring women for the sake of it instead of hiring people who are more qualified for the job, you go right ahead, in the meantime i'll be living in the real world.

The "real world" that is biased in your favor - my point.

What point is that?

Person X may have had a harder life, so we should hire that person just because that person is X gender.

That is the very sexism I'd be hoping we should avoid. Fix the issues, don't make new ones.
