Re: A pox on people behaving sterotypically

"Checking the gender of El Reg readers algorithmicly and replacing the job advert with one for cosmetics if you think I'm female - immoral, stupid, and arguably illegal."

But the point here is that the algorithm is targeting the people most likely to respond to the advert correct?

Why is this bad?
