- ThePhysicist 7y agoI don’t think so. In most jurisdictions you’re allowed to take action to reduce inequality and increase diversity, this includes e.g. posting job ads in “women’s” magazines. I think I have seen more than one job ad in such a magazine already (I sometimes read them when I get my hands on one even though I’m not the official target demographic).

EDIT: Also I believe it's legal to post in a (wo)men's magazine, as long as you post in the other gender's magazine too (e.g. you can't focus on only one demographic)
