  I think most of the discussion is that a job fair created to rectify discrimination, is complaining in an article that they can’t discriminate

    You can’t pretend that comparative history has no impact on the present. Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.

    its mostly complaints that people are being disrespected, if you read the article: pushing, shoving, etc.

  The fact that it’s illegal for them to ban men because it’s considered gender discrimination kind of highlights the problem here.

    How? If they make laws to stop discrimination you can’t exclude it protecting select groups. That’s just legitimizing discrimination as a form of corrective action for… discrimination…

      Sorry I didn’t mean to imply I was supporting the idea of a career fair that discriminates against men. They problem was this one trying to get around the law by just making men feel unwelcome. The fact that there are laws that prevent them from just banning men should have clued them in that maybe it’s wrong
