This isn't how equality works

human-potato_hybrid · 2022-08-13T16:50:26+00:00

XYZ Elementary School is an equal opportunity employer! Our superintendent is male and males are particularly encouraged to apply! All efforts will be made to increase the number of male teachers in the school!

KickedSharf798 · 2022-08-13T16:01:00+00:00

Why not just do it like this. Let's say we need 10 employees. There are 30 people want to join. Just get the 10 best independently from gender. If it depends on gender, that's discrimination.

duhhhh · 2022-08-13T16:38:30+00:00

Unfortunately, it is often how "equality" works today.

63daddy · 2022-08-13T16:01:49+00:00

Very true. To claim equality while actively promoting women over men are opposing ideas and it’s hypocritical to claim equality while actively advantaging women.

BrainsBeforeBrawns · 2022-08-13T15:51:06+00:00

If you want people of both sexes to join the workforce, don’t just promote it for one sex.

It’s like working out your biceps, but you only do one arm.

Lasttoflinch · 2022-08-13T17:13:19+00:00

I have yet to see the reverse for fields over-represented by women.

airjordanjc12 · 2022-08-13T17:45:05+00:00

If I saw that on a hiring page, I would immediately scratch that job off my list. I can just imagine how toxic that work environment would be for men, regardless of whether you know your trade or not. Preaching equality and promoting women over men are two ideas that cannot coexist.

Edit: fixed a typo

Leading_Direction_84 · 2022-08-13T18:04:44+00:00

Positive discrimination is still discrimination. Even if it wasn't, the feminists wouldn't allow men to get into female-dominated fields like veterinary medicine or teaching that easily.

OnThatSigmaGrindset · 2022-08-13T15:39:29+00:00

that's not equality, that's supremacy

Fact_Trumps_Feeling · 2022-08-13T17:46:59+00:00

Stupid people conflate Equality and Equity. That's like saying the United States' economy and the Soviet Union's economy had the same system. Sadly, there are a lot of stupid people.

TheSnesLord · 2022-08-13T16:10:24+00:00

Can these f**kers be sued? I strongly encourage that men who have been the victim of their discrimination (and there will have been) to take legal action, perhaps even a class-action-lawsuit.

ReadingHunter · 2022-08-13T16:27:51+00:00

Well looks like one of the important things we ignore that will bite us in the back later .Equality.History is going to have to repeat itself and we have to suffer a blow to wake up huh. Why not wake up now? A small problem ignored turns into a bigger and more troublesome problem.

Careful-Tea6763 · 2022-08-13T16:43:40+00:00

That should be the beginning of a lawsuit.

GltyUntlPrvnInncnt · 2022-08-13T17:56:31+00:00

Some people (women) are just more equal than others (men). Fuck feminism!

Halafax · 2022-08-13T19:07:43+00:00

It's "feminist equality". Burdens and restrictions for men, choices and benefits for women.

HeelFaceSonny · 2022-08-13T16:40:41+00:00

Send both one with male name and other with female name with exact same resume and see who gets the reply :)

DoctorStorm · 2022-08-13T19:02:36+00:00

You know what really pisses me off? I was raised by, and grew up with, women. And I mean thousands of them. I have so many sisters and daughters I look after, and the husbands of the families and I have this sort of nod that says, "yeah, nobody is going to fuck with our ladies. Nobody."

I end up owning a bunch of companies and forming a bunch of partnerships using my end as the technology provider for organizations, services, products, etc., in damn near every industry in existence.

We have paid internships, job opportunities and posting - all of the usual suspects.

Seeing as I basically grew up as one of the girls, I am blind to sexism and discrimination. I've seen what people can do, men and women alike, and know there are bad asses on both teams. I focus on the bad ass, not their gender.

BUT LOOK, I'm not trying to dissuade women from applying or submitting their resumes...they just don't.

By the numbers, they just don't show up in my countless stacks of resumes.

This kind of crap really boils my blood because they're pulling potential talent forcibly through a funnel. No one benefits from this. You end up with a team that is Captain Planet levels of "balanced", but it's a shit team because the concept of "can they do the job" gets thrown out the window.

To date I've only hired one, just one, woman. Indian. Crackpot senior developer. Absolutely amazing.

And I'm sorry but it's not because I'm a sexist employer, it's because the ladies aren't showing up or putting their chips on the table.

These posting need to say one thing and one thing only, "we are gender neutral, so men and women alike, ante the fuck up, we're looking for assassins and we don't care what's between their legs, only what's behind their eyes."

twa8u · 2022-08-13T17:45:16+00:00

SEXISM Expressing preference for employment only for MALES would make the company cancelled & massive boycott.

Should be the same other way round

BlvckAnomally26 · 2022-08-13T20:21:05+00:00

They never wanted equality

tthechosendummy · 2022-08-13T22:39:48+00:00

No problem, just say in the application that you’re a woman. It’s 2022, they can’t actually dispute the claim

Damienslair · 2022-08-14T04:44:32+00:00

So it isn’t an equal opportunity employer. Got it.

Face_Puzzleheaded · 2022-08-14T04:53:51+00:00

Bro.... The world of academia is wildly sexist. Most research groups have a quota for female students.

hmm-3- · 2022-08-14T09:48:05+00:00

They want an equal number of men and women (preferably the majority being GiRlBoSSeS), not equality. Have these people been rejecting women this whole time or something? Let whoever wants to apply apply, and choose who has the best qualifications and merit. If the majority of either happen to be male, so be it. Not like you have an issue with the majority of construction workers being male. This is so stupid.

Lars-h-pedersen · 2022-08-13T19:50:50+00:00

The biggest tech university in my country (DTU) hosts visitation days and whatnot for only females once a month to make it more equal, while men can only join once a year were the visitation is gender neutral. It’s such bullshit.

traveller1976 · 2022-08-13T20:13:46+00:00

And that's now the meritocracy, and civilization, dies

WholeMelodic · 2022-08-13T22:37:12+00:00

Law suit time?

Heavy_Grand2526 · 2022-08-13T23:04:34+00:00

Don’t be afraid to call out things that claim to be in the name of equality, but in reality are anything but that. It is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Don’t let the wolf win. Be a lion, who tears off their mask and expose their farce for what it is.

octalanax · 2022-08-14T00:27:27+00:00

Job postings always used to say ( equal opportunity / affirmative action ) as if we were too stupid to realize that was a contradiction.

mikesteane · 2022-08-14T00:44:53+00:00

All possible efforts will be made to increase participation of women researchers in the project.

What, even after they've been hired?

RecoveringCoomer · 2022-08-14T02:21:22+00:00

I have a feeling that I may have a better chance of getting a job there, if I simply identify as a woman...

NullIsUndefined · 2022-08-14T04:25:17+00:00

From what I can tell this is how they remain legal. They never post a position saying "women only" or "people of color only". I stead it's always X is encouraged to apply.

But to treat any candidate different based on their sex or race is illegal in the US. This is part of the civil rights act.

So you can't outright say you are doing it.

walkingaroundme · 2022-08-14T05:12:10+00:00

I get discriminated against as a white male in the USA.

I’m an immigrant but that doesn’t seem to matter

medscj · 2022-08-14T05:42:34+00:00

We should just say that we identify as woman in CVs.

IanHawkess · 2022-08-14T09:25:58+00:00

It’s part of a social engineering scheme. Ok, here goes.

It all rests on this central assumption: Men and women are not only equal but the same. As in, identical. The only thing that makes us different is the way we’re socialised. No differences, there’s nothing in our biology that could affect our psychology. Nothing.

Once you understand this, everything else falls into place. We just need to get 50% of women into male-dominated workplaces (by the same token we should also be pushing as hard to get men into female-dominated spaces but good luck expecting logic) for an unspecified amount of time. By any means necessary. Quotas, preferential hiring, whatever. Just get the numbers!

After this unspecified amount of time, society will be changed, and there will be no need for this social engineering. We will be socialising men and women the same. Doubleplusgood.

Yes, some individual men will have their career prospects stymied, but (repeat after me) ‘men have had it their own way for years, now they can see what it feels like’. You can’t make an omelette without destroying the careers of a few eggs…

It’s a combination of vengeance (visited on those least responsible) and leftist social constructivism. It’s got more than a shade of Maoism about it.

TAPriceCTR · 2022-08-14T15:40:01+00:00

The funny thing about equality is if you have to specify who gets it, it ain't equality.

Aquariumpsychotic · 2022-08-13T22:30:45+00:00

Honestly I’m a college student M and might just put down F on job applications and scholarships

khaste · 2022-08-13T23:00:29+00:00

time to "change genders" since its apparently so easy to do and apply then?

ReadingHunter · 2022-08-13T16:28:19+00:00

Somebody also doesn't know what equality means.

thegoodearthquake · 2022-08-14T00:41:07+00:00

We have had reservations in india around 70% of jobs, university seats, even housing. This shit will never stop if you’ll don’t start suing

Anopanda · 2022-08-13T21:35:38+00:00

Thing is there is inherent bias that men are better than women when all things are equal. So when hiring people with identical skills, men are hired on the premise they are better.

To counter that bias, there is a focus that in those cases, women should be hired. If that happens enough, I think that bias will stop, or at least be less.

NegativeEquivalent79 · 2022-08-13T17:53:41+00:00

Honestly, speaking as a STEM major, just let them have this one.

Halfcocked_Jack · 2022-08-13T18:03:38+00:00

Why not?

thnxMrHofmann · 2022-08-13T18:02:51+00:00

Lol so dumb. Add to the fact that most college students are now female too.

dont_care_enough_ · 2022-08-13T18:33:13+00:00

Idk what's going on but for some reason any post I click brings me to this one even if it's on a different subreddit

Starwarsgreen · 2022-08-14T06:19:30+00:00

Very tempted to start identifying as “women” when they ask

Dirk_94 · 2022-08-14T07:39:26+00:00

Im germany the employers are forced to put this into their job offering if less than 50 %, employed are female.

Of course not regarding if for example there are less female engineers in general than male ones.

Guess i still havnt figured out how equality works /s

Shadowkittenboy · 2022-08-14T15:07:14+00:00

When theres decades of history of nearly only men being in the field, then gatekeeping the industry by blocking any concern whatsoever of a toxic sexist environment in these companies, I can understand why a company would create this listing
