Bumble is launching a women-first networking tool that lets recruiters exclude men

FrancoGamerxz · 2019-03-01T22:56:29+00:00

Because nothing says inclusivity, diversity and equality like excluding 50% of the world's population!

This is what a #genderwar looks like. We have now reached the stage where the Feminine Imperative is directly violating civil right unchallenged.

I believe we've gotten to the point socially where women's empowerment has conditioned them to believe they are entitled to be placed above the laws that should govern men by virtue of being female.

My opinion? Fight dirty. Time to start identifying as a woman and sue anybody who tells you that you're not or wants you to prove it.

atticusfinch1973 · 2019-03-01T21:36:50+00:00

Basically any male dominated industry would hopefully laugh and just simply not use the service. These guys need customers to use their service.

Only companies that are women focused already would adhere to the obvious double standard this creates.

The only reason Bumble is successful is because of thirsty horny guys. And the guys know more girls use it because they feel "safe". Take the Male element away and it's useless.

SalporinRP · 2019-03-01T21:38:26+00:00

At the end of the day most of the highly sought after jobs will still go to men because Men can actually do the work and do it well.

At my company, out of the 15 or so women that work in my department I'd say there are maybe 2 that are good at their job. And good for them!

The rest are lazy idiots

kylerosa21 · 2019-03-01T21:53:35+00:00

So it’s unconstitutional. I can’t wait until someone makes a legal case against this

Motorola_Nova · 2019-03-01T21:36:16+00:00

Let them.

AyameNoop · 2019-03-01T23:54:14+00:00

FWIW. I'm in the supply chain industry and it's totally dominated by women for some reason (equality be damned)

I've personally asked a top recruiter specalizing in this this field and he confirmed it.

I've had a bunch of interviewers tell me, and I quote "our department is all ladies, are you able to handle it?" Which is probably some code for "You dont have a pussy so we're probably not hiring you"

Also the beauty and fashion industry is almost dominated entirely by women regardless of job function. I got flat out told by a recruiter that they only wanted to hire a woman once. Wish I had the foresight to record it and report them

BlindingTwilight · 2019-03-01T23:18:10+00:00

This is run by white women and aimed at white women. White women earn more than black men, hispanic men or native american men. They also live longer, have better health care, have less social problems, are less likely to be victims of crime than men from minority groups. The idea that white women need special treatment is toxic femininity at it’s best.

c_w_o_o_l_l_y · 2019-03-01T21:42:24+00:00

You wouldn't want to work for the kind of company that would only seek out women anyway. Consider it a win-win. You don't have to work for them, and their business craters immediately due to terrible hiring practises.

Wolveryn · 2019-03-01T22:34:34+00:00

Bumble is a feminist app, the way women chat first. In comparison to Tinder I’ve found only the uglier wall hit type of women tend to go on it

bestplayer23 · 2019-03-01T22:58:04+00:00

Too bad they are not publicly traded, this would be an easy short. I think realistically they might be doing this to secure more funding, allowing VC's to virtue signal.

Mr_Badass · 2019-03-01T21:40:56+00:00

They may claim its "women only" but I'm confident they can't legally discriminate men. Wouldn't be surprised if a troll joins and starts chaos.

RepostGhostCst2Cst · 2019-03-02T01:58:44+00:00

Good. This is a good idea for them. Let them do their own thing. Run women only companies. Women only housing. Women only everything.

Let them fail

TheDevilsAdvokaat · 2019-03-02T01:32:59+00:00

Ok. Wait till it launches, then sue them.

There has been a gender war going on for millennia.

However, it is now worse than it ever was.

B_llCl_nton_sARap_st · 2019-03-02T03:40:10+00:00

Lol bumble suggests “Ruth Bader Ginsberg” as the answer to no less than 3 of their 10 stock questions

BunchofAnimals · 2019-03-02T02:21:33+00:00

I've tried to use Bumble for "Networking". I've matched with interesting dudes, chatted about common interests, connected with two photographers, pretty standard fare.

I've matched with about 30 women on the Biz side. Not ONE of them messaged. I don't know whether to laugh, or laugh hysterically.

lukesterboi1 · 2019-03-01T22:43:56+00:00

Prepare for the troll invasion

8380atgmaildotcom · 2019-03-01T22:45:32+00:00

Honestly when it comes to this I think most business will end up fine. Because most businesses are about bullshit and women are better at meaningless bullshit than men. I think men did this to themselves by taking the easy route and allowing a path for women to enter their fields.

512165381 · 2019-03-02T00:19:26+00:00

Illegal in Australia.

https://www.humanrights.gov.au/our-work/sex-discrimination/about-sex-discrimination

The Sex Discrimination Act 1984 protects people from unfair treatment on the basis of their sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, intersex status, marital or relationship status, pregnancy and breastfeeding. It also protects workers with family responsibilities and makes sexual harassment against the law.

Press2ForEnglish · 2019-03-01T23:33:51+00:00

The idea is to help a traditionally underrepresented workforce connect and build support systems outside the office.

Since they're so concerned about underrepresentation I wonder if they can do the same with fathers.

strayaura · 2019-03-02T00:01:23+00:00

How incredibly sexist.

How would the sjw react if there was a male-only networking tool?

Ascend_Daily_305 · 2019-03-02T00:28:19+00:00

Class action gender discrimination, who's with me?

We can burn their stuff and dragging to the cave after a clubbing

TheImpossible1 · 2019-03-02T06:30:48+00:00

That's fucking illegal.

The gender war is already getting dirty.

Milk_moustache · 2019-03-02T10:04:40+00:00

Good luck with that. I hope they get what they’re looking for in the sake of employing for diversity. Whether that’ll be actually good is a lesson they’ll end up learning.

BurnoutRS · 2019-03-02T13:45:24+00:00

The company has an excellent name. I get a shit eating grin out of content like this. Their name is fucking Bumble, and theyre bumbling this shit up hard.

MRP50 · 2019-03-02T20:24:33+00:00

Haha...exclude 70% of the best candidates...

How'd that go for you?

trollreign · 2019-03-03T00:11:02+00:00

They literally create a platform where they can recruit their "girlfriends" or "like-minded" feminists rather than the most competent person for the job.

Incredible that we are so cuckolded that this goes on virtually unchallenged.

seedster5 · 2019-03-02T03:53:55+00:00

What kind of man wants to work for feminazi anyway. As a man never work in a female.dominated industry. Nothing good will ever come out of it. Also it's all fun and games until you have missing workers because they're having babies. Nothing against having babies but that's why you have a balance in the work place and optimal efficiency in engineering/oil and gas.

stripethrowaway · 2019-03-01T22:57:23+00:00

It's already upsetting enough to be hired and wondering if you only got hired to fulfill some sort of "gender" or "diversity" quota. It's worse than getting a participation trophy. Now they're building a social network around it?

Speechless.

7Tomus · 2019-03-01T23:22:29+00:00

You guiz are worried that you wont get job at Hooters or what? Any serious company with some basic sense will never use this, and if thats not the case you dont want to be there anyway.

1TRUEKING · 2019-03-02T02:20:40+00:00

I don't understand what this is going to accomplish? Most male dominated jobs are STEM and most women do not major in STEM so they are unqualified to even interview for the job... And if women do major in STEM, they are already ALWAYS given interviews especially by big tech companies like google. They prioritize women and latinos/blacks already this bumble feature is literally useless. If you're a women with qualifications already you will already be a leg up on regular men. Maybe they can use this service to talk about their feelings and a support group for how men are treating them unfairly lmao...

GirlsAreReallyFeline · 2019-03-02T02:25:57+00:00

This is so fucking awesome.

If women start using this app, and all the while continue to use other methods of "representation", then this app will be useless, since nobody is stupid enough to hire only women, not even women.

If women start exclusively using this app for their representation, many people can avoid hiring them, since they already filtered themselves out.

I can't wait to find out which it is going to be.

Betanorman · 2019-03-02T06:16:56+00:00

I don't understand why you guys aren't supporting this, if this thing was allowed it would give men moral and legal permission to do the same.

ImperialEquivalent · 2019-03-02T11:45:24+00:00

Any company that recruits new hires off a swiping-based dating app deserves what it it gets. Regardless of whether the women-first aspect is legal or not, this is just fucking retarded.

CainPrice · 2019-03-02T12:54:24+00:00

This, alone, is not a significant event. Some woman starts a woman only networking site?

The only people who are going to make use of this are people who can't cut it in the regular job world. This on its own, isn't going to lead to lots of female hires and fewer opportunities for men. The only employers who would use something like this to find an employee are people who have already decided to hire only a woman for the position and want to deliberately use a woman only site to look. So it's not like that was a major opportunity for a man that got stolen away. And the women who use it would be women looking for bonus opportunities for being female instead of being good. Probably not the greatest talent out there.

Where things might get ugly is the next step. What if an employer was legally required to hire a certain percent women? What if unequal hiring and promotion outcomes were legally dubbed to be proof of discrimination and employers were required to hire and promote women based on sex instead of a purely qualification-based decision to avoid fines and lawsuits?

Today, a private website for women to network with each other is only interesting and useful to people who are already only interested in giving women opportunities. And on woman employees who want extra opportunities for being women instead of being good.

That might change tomorrow, though.

ntvirtue · 2019-03-02T17:38:07+00:00

Use of this software should automatically equal a winning lawsuit.

11-Eleven-11 · 2019-03-02T18:16:08+00:00

Who cares? We know what will happen. 75% of employee hires will be women. They do a shit job. In 5 years they'll be bankrupt, lay offs follow suit, and then they'll be complaining about the wage gap and inequality in the workplace again.

bilabrin · 2019-03-01T23:04:14+00:00

More power to them I say. As a man I honestly don't care if a business excludes me for that. I think it's a dumb idea for business.

When I work for a company I receive pay and benefits and they receive the benefits of my work which, logically will be worth more than they pay me. If a company would pass over an opportunity to receive the benefit of my work for someone female but less valuable then that is their loss, not mine.

The same would be true of a restaurant who had a "no men allowed" policy.

PimpinAce175 · 2019-03-02T01:10:57+00:00

Men took care of women since the beginning of man kind, this is how they thank us. When the Huns are at the gate I’ll be relaxing not giving a shit

the99percent1 · 2019-03-02T03:21:44+00:00

Let them. If a company is so stupid to limit their hiring options so drastically, they wont exist for long.

PutinVsWittes · 2019-03-02T08:48:58+00:00

Anybody own a construction company and a sense of humor?

SKRedPill · 2019-03-06T08:11:52+00:00

Sometime back there was an article up here about what happened to an enterprise without men or masculine energy in it.

Long story short - it shut down because it was not possible to herd cats.

NormalAndy · 2019-03-01T23:50:47+00:00

Let them do it.

That’s the point here- I love it.

HootsTheOwl · 2019-03-02T02:20:06+00:00

For a company built on the understanding that women won't assert themselves unless they're prompted (and even then just say "hey" 99% of the time) this seems like a pretty cynical move

angryirishman · 2019-03-02T03:07:28+00:00

honestly I think itll be fine

PimpinAce175 · 2019-03-02T07:48:48+00:00

Haha I had a feeling bra :p

huggyblossom · 2019-03-02T13:47:26+00:00

Nothing bad, but from my personal experience they only want the benefits of the job aka salary and status...

My boss nearly stopped hiring women on certain position below 31, because for the past 1 year we had over 11 girls start get a huge salary for my country and go pregnant. And with our social care they get 2 years of motherhood with full salary.

The end will be when all the white knights are capable of baring a baby which is soon on the radar from the talks I had with a friend keen on biology... so in 20 years man will be pregnant and girls will do man job :) Such a bright future for my offsprings. I can't wait to laugh from the bench :)

MattyAnon · 2019-03-02T17:15:03+00:00

I am TOTALLY in favour of this:

It provides an easy way to filter out entitled women by simply not using their service. This can even be presented as a virtue: "We can't use a service that discriminates against and excludes half the population".

TheTrenTrannyTrain · 2019-03-02T18:38:08+00:00

This is just a lawsuit waiting to happen.

latinasonly · 2019-03-01T23:26:23+00:00

who fucking cares . recruiters can already exclude men if they wanted to. all these kind of posts do is make the betas reading TRP more mad at women , making their situation harder.

whats important is reversing laws that are f*cking men over.

centaursg · 2019-03-01T22:49:27+00:00

Could be a game changer. As long as there is a moral element to it, no one cares if its unconstitutional, especially these days. They will not come after men dominated jobs like construction, heavy labor etc.

Their focus will be mostly on desk jobs or office jobs.. The only thing that a man can do is not keep his shit together (dont fuck where you eat) and improve your game (skills, "game", looks etc) because there is no way to stop this wave.

Orochimaru331 · 2019-03-02T05:19:26+00:00

pyrovoice · 2019-03-01T22:17:55+00:00

Oh my god those type of meninist and mysoginist comments has nothing to do on this sub. It's supposed to be a sharp truth about the world sub, and this is a sharp truth. You should just accept it and adapt, like every other change in society.

Edit: in case there might be a misunderstanding, I'm not criticizing the post or the fact that this should be discussed. I'm mad that all the top posts are "lol they will be fired cause only men do good work". We are better than that.
