To be annoyed by this sexist job advert?

[Marlox]

A local sanctuary has advertised for a job and been adamant that this is not for women because they would feel uncomfortable with a woman doing the task. The comments are all the owner (female) of the sanctuary.

They also then posted mocking someone who asked for reasonable adjustments.

Is it just me or is this not a reasonable way to recruit?

Sorry ill see if this works! If its illegal, who would it be reportable to?

"Can women fix things?"

What the fuck!

Pulling the ladder up firmly behind her I see.

Oh, I missed, "Can they climb a ladder".

Can all men do this stuff then? Didn't realise it's coded into their DNA.

It’s not actually a job though is it?
It’s free accommodation in return for help around The Sanctuary
I’m usually as ready as the next Feminist to get outraged by every day sexism but knowing how hard people who run organisations like this work for no pay or even thanks a lot of the time I wouldn’t be bothered in this case.

Yes that’s illegal the daft bat

What an idiot.

I have visions of women all over being surrounded by broken things and stuck at the top of ladders...

@Hoppinggreen it says rent free with a wage so presumably paid

Well that is illegal and infuriating.

Why do we worry about men putting us down when plenty of our fellow-women are hard at it, doing the putting down for them.

Aargh.

Obviously she is some sort of Borg with super strength despite being defected by her sex at birth.

She shouldn't have advertised for a man but in reality the chances are that she will get a man to do the job anyway.

It's illegal and insulting. I'm not sure there's much you can do other than apply for the job, be rejected and then take them to tribunal.

Perhaps she's really looking for a life (shagging) partner?

Pffft.
I get DH to do all the heavy lifting and gardening in this house as I'm a delicate little flower.
(Actually, no I don't because if I did the heavy things would still be where I left it in the middle of the f*g floor 5 weeks later)
I wouldn't trust myself with a chainsaw though, but that's got nowt to do with what's between my legs and everything to do with I'm a clumsy twat who'd probs chop my own leg off or something

I don't see the problem, if it's their sanctuary it's up to them who they want to hire. At least it saves women wasting their time applying if they're up front about it.

To be fair at least you can see what she’s like before you apply, no one with an ounce of sense would want to work for someone like that!

But yes, illegal. Report to the local council or whoever.

I didnt think the council would be interested

To be fair her most recent post was about how she has a stronger work ethic then milenials so at least its not just women!

I don’t know, I saw a job ad on FB once which was specifically asking for 14-16 year olds (no doubt so they could pay them less) and I reported it to the council and they came back to me to say they’d been out to visit the employer as it was a job that under 18s are specifically not permitted to do under local by-laws (or something like that).

I agree it is illegal for two reasons
Sexist
Possibly Slave Labour (because there is no wage for the work. Free housing for full time work is not meeting NMW. Has to be pay as well, otherwise it’s slave labour and the caravan is slave quarters)

Oopsreread. I had missed the “with a wage” forget my second reason.

Daft just daft
