When the economy starts to falter an unemployment rises, people attend job fairs at higher numbers. More at 10.

With the ability to self identify I don’t understand how an article like this can be written. How are you able to determine who is female, male or one of the many other genders without asking each person? How is it possible to say the conference was overrun by men? Wouldn’t you have to infer their gender by their appearance which is inherently insensitive and problematic?

  Is this a real question or trolling? I’m not sure…

    It’s a rhetorical question.

Hmm… lots of white dudes on Lemmy then, eh?

It’s like old reddit, but with new and improved culture wars

The nonprofit says it believes allyship from men is important and noted it cannot ban men from attending due to federal nondiscrimination protections in the US.

Well well
