Comment on Men Overran a Job Fair for Women in Tech
cricket97@lemmy.world 11 months agoI’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.
