My current organization conducts world wide special recruitment drives for women who have taken a break in their careers and who are willing to start again! And recruitment will be specifically for tech positions.

Isn't that great! I think, this should be followed by each and every organizations out there.

Isn't that. Y'know. Sexist?

@rootshell I don't see it that way. Generally women take a break from their career when they have young kids to take care of. And after a couple of years, if they wish to start back, there is an exclusive opportunity for them.

@rootshell While I totally dislike bringing up usually-nonsense things like sexism (I'm very much against feminazi antics and ridiculousness), that comment annoyed me quite a bit. Here's why:

It's rare for men to take time off work to raise a family, but quite common for women. (After all, someone has to.) Men (at least here) often see taking care of children as "women's work" and therefore socially unacceptable / not their job. This view is much more sexist than acknowledging the statistics and finding a niche as OP's organization has.

Acknowledging differences in biology, behavior, tendencies, etc. is not sexist (or racist/etc. for that matter), even when generalizing. Acknowledging stereotypes is also not: they are stereotypes for a reason.

Sexism/racism is hating/despising someone for their sex/race/etc. alone, regardless of specifics concerning that individual. Likewise, using stereotypes/generalities as insults is an example of sexism/racism/etc.

Not prejudiced: X group usually does this / are like this.
Prejudiced: Everyone from X group fucking sucks.
Racist: You smell like [food type], [racial slur]!

tl;dr:
Not sexist. Actually kind of the opposite.

@Root
Well they are doing the whole "reverse sexism" which isn't sexism cause ???

Did I *trigger* you?

Based on pure technicalities it's sexist, because they are excluding (atleast) one sex.

To have children is also fully in control of woman in western countries.

But we need more children to keep the economy growing in a steady pace.

Not like I honestly care anymore. I've tapped out. No woman for me, I'll just take my bad paying job and live till I die.
Because I wouldn't want to disadvantage a woman by making her pregnant, y'know.

I was just poking fun but you did a *dragon female z* on me so I had to sting the bee's nest again. 😁

(fyi, I've actually tapped out of 'the game' so I don't really care as I just fake a smile until I'm alone)

@rootshell lol "triggered"
No, that's not possible.

Also, if treating two different things differently because they are different is "prejudiced," that means literally everything is. Which then means "prejudiced" doesn't mean anything. And with how so many people use it and its derivatives now, that's true enough.

@Root
"Sexism or gender discrimination is prejudice or discrimination based on a person's sex or gender. " - Wikipedia

"prejudice or discrimination based on sex; especially : discrimination against women" - Webster
(though I don't agree with the whole 'espescally' part)

If we go by today's standard it is by definition sexist.

Besides it's woman's free will to work, to have children, or not.

Let's maybe just hire the most skilled person for the job. 🤔

@rootshell Although I was born in early 90's I still prefer to be old school when it comes to modern day terminologies. Because modern day terminologies like sexism, intolerance etc. doesn't mean shit. It's all because of those insecure people, these terminologies have come into existence.

@EmptyStack This.
