Apple supplier Foxconn rejects married women from India iPhone jobs (www.reuters.com)

Foxconn, a major manufacturer of Apple devices, has been excluding female candidates from assembly jobs at its flagship Indian smartphone plant because they are married. Both companies’ codes of conduct state that workers shouldn’t be discriminated against on the basis of marital status....

T. rex was around for 20 million years or so, I’d say they passed for long enough to be considered successful. Despite the tiny arms.
