can they really request that without getting sued?

Is it any worse than speeding?

ma inyan shmita l'har sinai?

They do it in Jewish Press classifieds all the time -- which doesn't prove anything. I'm just saying.

yeah, i see it on luach too. i don't see how they can deny an interview to a qualified male applicant.

To tell us that just as with Shmitta, all of its details and particulars were given to Moshe at Har Sinai, so too was the case with all other Mitzvos given at Sinai. Why do you ask?

Well . . . federal law "applies to employers with 15 or more employees" and NYS law "does not include any employer with fewer than four persons in his employ."

why would a male apply if it says " for women"?

To take a stand against gender discrimination in the workplace???

What if the job couldn't be done by a male? For instance, a sheitelmacher?

Or a prostitute, lehavdil.

then he has nothing better to do with his life.

Why can't a man be a sheitelmacher?

Why can't a man be a prostitute?

He can be a male prostitute, but he can't be a female prostitute. And there are functional differences.

A certain Friends moment comes to mind.

Do the words "Crying Game" mean anything to you?

That movie was a trip.

Do you recommend it? I haven't seen it. Does knowing the ending ruin it?

not because he can't set the wigs, but because he can't see their hair.

Says who?

In all honesty, because of the shock, the ending is all I remember (per se). I was completely clueless before I saw it (I think this was the pre internet syndrome). It seems like it was a good movie and held my attention.

Why are people picking on the male / female thing and not the langauge thing. Isn't it also discrimination to only allow English-Russian speaking people to apply for the job?

Not at all. Assuming the job requires knowledge of those languages, it is simply a job skill requirement like any other qualification. It does not say anything about the person's nationality or ethnic origin.

No, that is a necessary SKILL to perform the job. Being a woman is NOT...

halacha

According to who?

How is this any different than a woman going to a man hairdresser (which we have discussed here a number of times)?

the majority of orthodox women who cover their hair for the purpose of it not to be seen by any males other than their husbands wouldn't go to a male hairdresser/wigdresser. therefore, hiring a male to do the job would be bad for business and would explain why it's in the requirements for the applicant to be female. however, i don't understand why one has to be female for an ordinary secretarial job.

so the company can pay less?

maybe it's girls only office?

The ones who would go to a male hairdresser would go to a male sheitelmacher.

(My earlier response was a misreading of what you wrote.)

am i supposed to know?
does it have to do with the thread?
want to clue me in?

Sorry. See edit.

Seriously. Some of you really need to get a life.
This conversation happens every time I post about an available job. Wording aside, it might be helpful for people looking for jobs...and I try to post as much specifics as I can (including gender) so that I don't get flooded with PM's.

we're helping! your post has been getting bumped up to the top the entire day. you know it would've sunk right to the bottom if we didn't argue here...

Good point, Spot. ;-)

I know. I am laughing at the deja vu that I remember from the last time you had this post (in fact I checked date because I thought someone bumped an old thread)
