Apply for a job, when they reject you sue for gender discrimination, use the email in court.

Victory.

What company was this? You should file a complaint with the EEOC.

Who wants to guarantee this is some bitter feminist?

Release the company info and let's all write to these dipshits (hopefully get this bitch fired). We need to start taking action.

Wisconsin?

This is illegal! t shouldn't be hard at all for someone to challenge this.

welcome to racism in the US, where it's only new if it's happening to a white person

womblefish · 2012-02-24T00:43:17+00:00

An chance you could post that email address?..

I'd personally love to waste a little more of their "valuable time"...

(It's a bit hard to cut and paste from an image.)

Car Salesman.

Calling someone a "lowlife."

Does not compute.

I didn't really find it offensive. It seemed to read like they were trying to encourage more women to try out for a job men typically are interested in. I've seen far worse wording on CL.

Wow.. What a classy and professional response from her. What a bitch. I wasn't expecting that at all

DarthOvious · 2012-02-24T12:59:46+00:00

I didn't really mind the advert as such. I wouldn't mind an advert encouraging men to apply for nursing positions for instance. As long as it was done gently, without showing any discrimination.

However, the reply given in the e-mail was unacceptable and very unprofessional. I would report it if possible and hope that the person who sent it gets the sack.

I really don't think this needs to be here. It is one sexist asshole on the internet.

picopallasi · 2012-02-24T06:18:01+00:00

I'm not seeing an enormous problem with the original posting. The most I'd probably do is scoff at it and move on.

2012-02-24T11:57:51+00:00

You are actually literally a moron inside your head if you are in any way offended by this.

emmanate · 2012-02-24T08:21:39+00:00

What is wrong with this? It is possibly over-supporting of females, but nothing more. It seems that someone wrote an overly supportive ad for female employees. In no way did it state that male employees were not to be accepted.

Then you responded with hate-mail .. why exactly? Possibly I am reading the formatting all wrong, but it appears you email the employee the strongly worded response, at which point the original poster responded with kindness. Was their additional email exchanges?

Either way, this level of rudeness seems way over the top.

Also, to the inevitable downvoters, could you post why you downvoted?

Airazz · 2012-02-24T12:56:20+00:00

What's the point in emailing them if you're not applying for a job? Lets be fair here, some jobs are for guys and some are for girls. It's silly to shout "Sexism!" if there are no women fixing cars in a local garage. Similarly, it's silly to shout "Sexism!" if there are no men selling those cars. As you may have noticed, it's usually the men who buy new cars. Obviously, a sexy sales girl will get better sales than a random chubby dude. I don't see what are you freaking out about.
