I am studying computer science, and I was looking for a job in my field. I ask my friend and he says he works in a studio that needs workers, so I ask him to ask them if I can have an interview. He told me that they are not welcoming men, since the majority of their workers are men, and they want more women in their field.

Why was I denied an opportunity because women don't want to work there? If a lot of men apply, but not enough women, it means the job attracts more men that women. Why am I not allowed because other people don't want to work there, when I want to?

Sorry if this doesn't fit this sub, but I was a bit disappointed, and wanted to rant somewhere.

Edit: people are advising me to file a lawsuit, but my country does not inforce any laws considering work. I worked 3 months as a waiter, and i only got 200$ out of the 1500$ we agreed on, and couldn't do shit about it. However thank you for your advice! I appreciate it.
