    This women's organization has a job fair for tech jobs but they can't discriminate. With all the layoffs this year, men flooded the place and the women got their panties in a bunch.

    I'm wondering if the blowback will trickle into other descriminatory functions like black job fairs, etc. Or maybe it's a natural progression of the blurring of the gender lines like allowing men into women's sports.

    It's for the same reason why all the immigrants and asylum seekers are young men in the prime of their lives without women and children: men are opportunistic. Those jerks!

    Gender is a personal choice.

    The Link is DATED Oct. 3, 2023 (It's over 3 Months Old).
    If this story was so groundbreaking and worthy of the attention of the forum, then why wasn't it posted over 3 months ago?
    When it actually happened?
    Instead of over 3 months Late?
    When it is, essentially, a stale story?
    ***And, On-Topic, as to the actual (although STALE) OP Link:
    This has been an issue (front and center) since (at least) 2014.
    From 2014:

    Men who identify as women are more important.

    Clearly it was bigotted to have a gender exclusive job fair in the first place. Those men, erm I mean trans women, are heroes for stopping those bigotted women from monopolizing their gender exclusivity to steal jobs from the other genders. Shame on those women.

    Since people can just claim whatever gender they want to be, men need to organize at all of these activities and flood the places, claiming they want to be identified as women.

    While I agree with the sentiment, I also have to recognize that it actually hurts the women that need a hand up. The people that the men need to make a point to, ultra femanist nazis and letter people nazis, won't get the point anyway. On the other hand, and just like all the black groups, they can't handle the equal rights when it's given.

    This is old news. I think women should be able to organize women's only events, but nowadays you can't discriminate. Works both ways.

    Yes, they want job opportunities. Those jerks (how dare they). I mean it's not like they may have families to feed or anything or that women aren't and can't be equally opportunistic is it?

    Ummmm, that is EXACTLY the point. Leftist policies like letting men compete in women's sports, letting boys and men use girls and women's restrooms, and allowing male athletes to change in female's dressing rooms is hurting women.

    Yes, there are many kinds; smoking nazis, church nazis, nutrician nazis, etc. It's funny how authoritarian some people get when they find a cause.
