If you were an employer and a 25 year old man and a 25 year old woman - who were equal in all aspects apart from their gender - both applied for a job, who would you rather employ?

Is she fit?

As the scenario was suggested by me, probably yeah.

In all honesty? Either. Probably whoever seemed a more alright person in the interview.

Would it not concern you that the woman is reaching a mothering age and would be more likely to become pregnant and thus take time off, during which you'd have to pay both her and a replacement?

True, actually. The bloke.

Mothering age is 25? Hmmm...

Yeah, I'd say that was a common age for a first kid for someone who isn't a feminist spinster.

Most women get pregnant in their mid twenties.

Approaching it.

My mum had my sister when she (my mum) was 22.

My friend's mum had her when she was in her 40's, she's an only child.

Most women that don't have children or have them late spend the remainder of their lives lonely and regretful.

Maybe

The age is just a general benchmark, Eve.

Do you not agree that it would be more sensible to employ the man?

Subject: Re: Women and Employment. Thu Nov 13, 2008 11:56 am

Possibly.

It would be more sensible to avoid a discrimination lawsuit.

The ho would never have to know.

But she could. It wouldn't take much to find out her and the man were equal in all aspects.

I'd choose a gay man.

Consigliere Number of posts : 1835 Points : 486

Gay men would be more likely to stay at home than straight men in the event of having a child.

Subject: Re: Women and Employment. Thu Nov 13, 2008 12:00 pm

Yeah, well I'd choose a black transgender midget with split ends. So there.

Who would be the best at 'manning up' if they had a hangover?

That'd be the main factor in this day and age tbh.
