>>> interview [I had was] with some blonde girl in her twenties
That's a red flag!
- busyant 9y agoIn an article about prejudging people by age, we have comments prejudging people by gender and hair color. My wife (blonde) frequently gets talked down to by people who make assumptions about her intelligence.
- pleasecalllater 9y agoYea, maybe you are right. I was not writing about her intelligence... but I wrote 'blonde'. On the other hand, I would no write about the color of her skin the same way, and I'm not sure why. Unfortunately, I cannot edit my first comment.
- fao_ 9y agoHow so? It seems misogynist to assume that that's a bad sign.
- QuantumGravy 9y agoPersonal anecdote here, which may mean absolutely nothing in the bigger scheme of things. I had encountered, from time to time, a certain category of recruiters who seemed to be hunting for brogrammers. The type looking for passionate ninja rockstar hackers to work for free beer, free food, and night life in an exciting high-energy startup. These recruiters just also happened to be young blonde women in low-cut tops who were rather overplaying their ditziness. They also preferred video conference to phone calls. My assumption is this was all quite engineered to hit their mark.
- pleasecalllater 9y agoNo, it's not. I was just a description, maybe you should change your attitude and stop judging people by their look.
