"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 Insane Troll Logic of Equity Hiring
A managed democracy is a wonderful thing... for the managers... and its greatest strength is a 'free press' when 'free' is defined as 'responsible' and the managers define what is 'irresponsible'.”

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.

Re: The Insane Troll Logic of Equity Hiring
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.

So why haven't you tried it, if it's so much easier to get a job when you're not male?clearspira wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 5:31 pm Yet more anti-male discrimination that lefties tell me isn't happening.
