    If woman want a job fair they should create one that actually only allows women, but given no one seems to have a definition for women, it might be hard to do.

        which law prevents a private female only conference from happening? As far as I know, there are no such laws.

          Read The Fucking Article, that’s the exact reason they allowed men at the conference in question: federal nondiscrimination laws

            I’m saying I don’t buy that reason. There are no laws (afaik) that prevent exactly what I described. Federal discrimination laws typically refer to employment or public places, not private events.

              This is an employment related event. Anti discrimination laws apply to applicants.

              If it was just a networking event, no problem, ban men

                I don’t believe there are any laws that make that illegal. There are plenty of black only recruiting events, there was one at my college. If you can find me a law that says this is illegal I will bite my tongue, but from what I can tell it applies to employers, not anything close to recruiting events.

                  I swear to fucking christ

                  Are you a lawyer? Because the legal team of this event made this decision

                  I’m not citing case law to you just because you think you know better than a team of actual lawyers. Jesus.

                    good lord, relax. he’s obviously saying he thinks they should be permitted to have women only events.

                    chill… just discussing how i feel about a topic on a discussion forum. not that serious, you’re under no obligation to reply.

                    This statement didn’t come from lawyers btw. I suggest you look into non discrimination laws and youll see why i feel the way i do.
