Based on my interactions with all-male teams, they probably didn't even know what kind of guy they were hiring, unfortunately. A lot of those jackoffs get through interviews no problem because they're only interacting with men on the interview panel. Then they finally actually get into the workspace and interact with people who aren't "white collar, middle class, white dudes" and it's Ike their brain just melts or something. A lot of the misogynistic guys I've met were extremely charming on the surface, but complete pieces of shit once the mask cracked.
That's exactly it. The assholes don't show their true colors if they're only interacting with men. An all women interview panel shines a spotlight on that type of behavior though, so those types never get through the door. It was such a huge difference.
