If I am a male who identifies as a female can I apply? I can’t believe you would be so sexist as to not be more inclusive!
“Peter Pan Syndrome is a disorder in which a man is unable to grow into maturity. They may grow physically as an adult but choose to hang on to their childhood in avoidance of assuming responsibility like a mature person. They are men who stay as boys inside.” aka @sswipe
Sounds like you picked the perfect name to post under.
Peter Pan’s comment may be intended to be flippant, but that doesn’t necessarily make their point invalid. What if a fully qualified applicant who was non-binary or gender fluid wanted the job? Couldn’t they argue that not hiring them would be discrimination? How could you determine which part of the panel they belonged on?
There are five seats for women and five seats for men. That’s totally fair so I’m not quite sure I understand your comment.
Vivian,
The fact that you ‘don’t totally understand’ is at the root of the problem. Selection based on gender is just one more piece of evidence. You are so out of step. Dividing up seats by gender is the worst form of discrimination. It says that women couldn’t qualify for seats if seats weren’t reserved exclusively for them. But that’s the Democratic party for you.
You’re being too kind. He sounds just like his Manchild leader -typical Trumpkin.
The left uses mental disorders to further their political aims. Then gets upset when someone asks a question based on their stated position. Then proceeds to mock the person who asked the question. Then they wonder why Trump won. Why don’t you keep the name calling on the playground.
Questioned the stated position? Peter came on the this board for only one reason, to be ass and harass. You are not far behind. Why did you come on this board if you don’t like the left. What could you possibly want here other than to do the same as you claim the left is doing? Idiot.
Again you attempt to win your argument by name calling. Thank you for proving my point.
I didn’t make argument, We would have first have to have dialogue for an argument to take place.. You didn’t answer my question which ended the conversation. That still makes you an idiot. That proves my point that you only came to this board to harass.
Please. As if the right hasn’t called the left plenty of names. This comment is just silly and serves no meaningful purpose.
“Serves no meaningful purpose.”
Welcome to the Internet, circa 1995.
I don’t call anyone from the left names. My comment shows that the current policy of the left is that you can be whatever gender you choose to be. So if a person without two x chromosomes, yet identifies as a female, chooses to run for that position then they should be considered.
Indeed. Lets not have our ladies on the left start snubbing their noses at those among us who are different. It is time for all Democrats to stop the shrill shouting about inclusion and start actually being inclusive!
Sorry, Larry. It’s not going to work that way. You can only be included if you agree. There is no room for either rational discussion or for differing points of view.
You just gave a perfect description of the news occupant of the white house, Donald Trump.
Isn’t it a little discriminatory to require a specific gender? Shouldn’t the best PERSON for the job be hired?
Did you read the advert? Is says there are five seats for women and five seats for men. That’s more than fair. Women are kind of sick of paying taxes, the same as you, and having no representation in government.
How is it “more” than fair? Is it your belief that only women can effectively represent women tax payers? Please explain why a man can’t effectively represent women in governmental affairs?
Men are tired of being told to stay out of women’s affairs yet being forced to subsidized their healthcare.
Hey angry old white guy,
Great pick up line. I bet you are a hit with women. LOL. We can tell you’ve got no game. Your best option – Save time, tap out now, pop a subsidized viagra and hook up with yourself. Better stock up on those little blue pills because I hear Tom Price is going to cut your Medicare coverage.
You were doing well until you threw out this comment. You don’t subsidize my healthcare any moreso than I subsidize yours. I’ve heard many variations of your whiny comment, typically by guys that never get laid.
‘Fair’ is only reality for the 5 and under crowd. You prove your worth, earn your way and fight back hard when you’re blatantly pushed aside based solely on the fact that you’re a female. You can’t stand proud when the stigma of “she met their girl quota” is following you around on the job.
How gender binary of you. I think it’s time for the ACLU to sue on behalf of all of the genders other than male or female that are not represented.
I sure did read the advert, Vivian Copeland, and the “five seats for women and five seats for men” is exactly what struck me as odd. My company has a long disclaimer about being and equal opportunity employer and a hiring policy of not discriminating based on race, religion, gender, orientation, etc.. We would just have 10 seats. To suggest that half of the positions would be offered to “men only…” I can’t even imagine the backlash and outcry against that. Dividing along gender lines just seems outdated to me. Maybe we’re a little more open minded.
Vivian …you should fill that vacant seat, then we can get answers..
If your a gay male and fill the role as the wife, do you qualify for the position?
