> Admitting your mindset isn't productive is hard
Nah, I am good at admitting fault given sufficient reasoning or evidence, unlike most people. But if I think I have a point, I may double down on it. Observe:
> You're not "helping out" by hiring a women, or a person of color. This mindset has set you up for failure before even starting.
Yeah, maybe. I was trying to suggest that I... ok, fine.
> If there's a valid reason, then there won't be a discriminiation lawsuit.
In the OP's article, the discrimination was assumed to be the reason even if other more valid reasons might have existed. This is not evidential.
> Hire a diverse team from day 1
That's what I was suggesting.
> Does this have a meaning I'm not aware of, or is part of your public, profesisonal persona the enjoyment of a particular female body shape?
Let's just say I am 48 years old and used to subscribe to Heavy Metal (https://www.heavymetal.com/ https://www.heavymetal.com/), which prominently features... well, you probably already know. Also that shaming me for my sexuality (without me harassing anyone, of course) is not only not a rational argument, it is discriminatory, and I refuse to apologize for how I am. It may also be convenient in this era of "cancellation for disagreement" (or as the woke leftwing sugarcoats it, "consequences") that I work for myself. >..< If I ever hire someone who has a problem with that, I'll ask them if they feel uncomfortable and work from there (note that women who express open interest in certain male body types do not faze me... but I don't want to create an uncomfortable work environment, so yeah, I'd probably have to remove that, sigh)
- maxehmookau 6y agoAn impressively nuanced answer! Thank you. And whilst I certainly do not wish to shame you. (Consenting adults can do as they please, enjoy what they please, etc.) as someone with responsibility for hiring and firing I'm glad you can see how it could lead someone to feel uncomfortable in a work environment.
