"Women need the opportunity"....isn't the hiring process the opportunity? Isn't only allowing women to apply patronising and saying that they couldn't compete against male applicants and by proxy any women hired may not be the best person for the job....







or is that just me?

Nice try OSR but facts and logic have no place in modern discourse.

We have a similar problem in my company. They brought in a 50% women quota. So now if there's not enough female applicants they only take the same number of male applicants. So while there may be people better suited for the job if they're male they may not even get a look in.

I was sure this thread was going to be about making false police reports.

That IS illegal, and an anonymous tip could bring the Feds knocking.....

You can't discriminate, be a bigot or a racist...unless you're coming from a position of real power. She's not a man...therefore she's not really powerful...therefore no problem with her decision.

Come on people GET WOKE!!11!!

I get that there was, and still is, a lot of unfairness in the world. I just happen to believe that the fix is to try to level set, and treat each other equally.
