The Insane Troll Logic of Equity Hiring

"Darebin City Council, which encompasses suburbs in Melbourne’s north, is taking applications for [a street sweeper job] from people who identify as non-male as in “female, non-binary, gender nonconforming.

Council’s workforce strategy is focused on achieving a diverse and inclusive organisation that reflects our community,” the job description said."

So they are banning males from applying, except for males who think they are something other than males, but...

"At the bottom of the job description is a note saying Darebin Council is an “Equal Opportunity Employer and does not discriminate in its selection and employment practices”."

The funny thing is that under "color blind" hiring people with ethnic names rather than Anglo-Saxon names are less likely to get callbacks on resumes with equal qualifications. Additionally all other things being equal a white man with a felony conviction is more likely to get hired than a black man with a clean record.

Is it the white part that gives the advantage or the felony part? We are talking about Australia after all.

Yet more anti-male discrimination that lefties tell me isn't happening. Of course by the logic of this misandrist shit I could just call myself trans or non-binary and get the job anyway.

Hiring discrimination against trans people is extremely high.

So why haven't you tried it, if it's so much easier to get a job when you're not male?

Please try. Although it would involve first disproving the linked article.
