> Appropriate measures aimed at achieving true equality are not regarded as discriminatory [0]
I looked this up when a prospective employer told me that they hadn't yet reached their gender quota and that if any even remotely qualified woman asked for the job I was basically out. Needless to say, I didn't bother applying for the job.

- chuckee 5y agoIt's hilarious they think they can change the meaning of words by legislation. Or it would be, if people didn't play along.
- unraveller 5y agoI get the sense some places really want to go above and beyond their quota so they just say this to spook good enough candidates away. You could have accepted then made a stand not to resign, and in the process become the modern day Rosa Parks.
- MerelyMortal 5y agoI wouldn't want to work for a company like that either, but if that was my best option and assuming this is a thing in whatever country, I would trying playing their game and say "I identify as a woman." Any resistance to that notion would be "discrimination".
