Men can't have street sweeping jobs in the name of diversity. This kind of flew under my radar but it's a scary precedent to set, and especially that the city council is doing this out in the open now. They didn't even bother to keep it a secret.

Are there a lot of women applying for street sweeping jobs?

Are there a lot of women applying for street sweeping jobs?

I'm gonna guess no. I'm also gonna guess that this ridiculousness was brought on by some study that found out that street sweepers were made of an extreme disproportionate amount of men, and they think that by banning them from the job, it will magically make more women apply for it.

This wasn't what I meant when I told them to apply sweeping changes to diversity in the workplace.

 

[HOLA]

$63,000 a year?

That's still like $45-47,000 USD.

Not bad for street sweeping.

Australia is worse than the Chicoms sometimes.

AFAIK cost of living in Melbourne is very high though.

I guess if you believe a woman should be sweeping the kitchen you're a male chauvinist. But if you believe she should be sweeping the streets you're a feminist.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

Lol, smh.

 

[Jkillah]

I would laugh if they got sued by a FtM Trans person for discrimination.

 

[thehighking]

I thought employment discrimination was illegal. Fucked up country

 

[Derousey]

Women sweepers are best sweepers.

I mean.... it's hilarious

 

[Wadtucket]

Australia quickly became a shithole country, very sad to see

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

Is this based on identity, genitalia, or...?

 

[Shadiata]

Woke-ism.

Squaw Valley ski resort (name) in place for like 70 years. Changed due to racist/offensive name...in California so not a surprise.

 

[Hadron90]

Is this that systemic discrimination I read about? Seems to fit the definition.

 

[SanchoMF]

Fuck the modern Western politicians. There's literally no causes left to fight for and grandstanding about medieval cultures isn't the type of soft target they're ready go for.
Fuck 'em.

Melbourne is the woke capital of Australia so this doesn't surprise me.
