    In fairness to spar it is a franchise and while they have responsibility for shops using their brand it isn't like this is spar policy it is just a feckin eejit of an owner or manager. Be great for some male to go in a apply for it and see what they say to him.

    I managed stores like that one for 20 years and I have to say, like it or not women are better in the deli than men (its a lot more than just makeing sandwich/rolls, hygiene and food safety regulations are 70% of the job), 99% of men I seen working in the deli hated it. Still a stupid f@ucking error on the manager to put a sign like that up.

    funny thing is there a lot of people on here taking this light-heartedly and making jokes. if it said men only there would be much more outrage and joking about it might even incur a ban or at the very least an infraction

    I can GUARANTEE you that if the sign said Men only, there would be uproar and then they would hire a female just to make themselves look good.

    Or just because women are often paid less… ;)

    It would be good fun to get a load of men dressed up in nice summer dresses and pretty shoes and handbags to go and line up and apply for the job.

    Edit: Of course I mean a load of males.

    This means that the very few women who DO apply to politics will be guaranteed a job so as to satisfy the quotas.
    There is also a stigma about men around kids.......

    The law profession is majority female although the people that run it are generally men because they are considerably older and now a lot of them can't retire after bad investments in the boom.

    How are women paid less ?? minimum wage is minimum wage. Salary scales are universal within a business.

    feminists are skewing statistics to make it look this way.

    Women tend to take huge leaves of absences in comparison to their male counterparts which makes them lose seniority in comparison and hence be on the lower pay scale. If you too a man and a woman from the same company with the same qualifications and seniority they'd enjoy the same remuneration as each other... :confused:

    Which is b*llocks considering most chefs in professional kitchens are men and they all have to be trained in concepts of neatness in work and food hygiene.

    You can't compare seasoned professionals to random schmucks who just want a few bob. He's right IMO, if I had to choose between an untrained lad or girl to be given 20 minutes training in roll-making to make me my roll/sandwiches you bet your ass I'd go for the girl.

    Maybe not. Recent studies have suggested women without children earn more than their male counterparts.

    If a business had a male majority and needed to 'beef up' the female ratio, would the sign be acceptable then? is there a law in this country where a percentage of your workforce needs to be female / disabled / minority.

    wanted: female Latino midget to work as a bouncer.

    Yeah. Women are under-represented in politics and the higher economic positions because they're too busy crocheting or having babies is it? Patronising nonsense. Ironic that women are over-represented in universities but subsequently under-represented in business and the professions.

    Reminds me of an episode of Modern Family, where the two gay guys were trying to get their daughter into an exclusive pre-school. They thought they had it nailed because of the pre-school's social diversity policy as they were a homosexual couple, with an adopted daughter, from a country outside of the US and who wasn't caucasian.
    They were trumped by two lesbians with even more diverse backgrounds involved lol.

    How is that ironic?

    Women tend to go into education more so than men. Last time I checked, universities were institutes of education.

    using your argument is it not sexist that men are under represented in education ?? should be bring in gender quotas for institutes of education and uni ??
    Would you be in favour of reduced points for men on cao?? or are you only in favour of schemes which help the "fairer" sex.

    Page 9

    Law - 70% Women
    Science - 65% Women
    Business - 59% Women
    Maths - 65% Women

    So in other words, your notion that women are suited only to teaching/caring/arts etc is outdated and wrong.

    (As a guy) I'm genuinely not too bothered by this. I don't really have a problem with people having an (sex/age/nationality) preference for a given position, even if it works against me.

    I mean, I can honestly say I'm a little more likely to go to a restaurant that has good-looking female staff. If the management noticed that it were a common trend, and hence tried to hire more women, can you really blame them?

    For me, it only becomes an issue were the discrimination goes so far that it starts becoming difficult to find any job. Not "I demand an equal chance to every single job".

    Stop twisting every point made. He never said women are only suited to those jobs. He said they are the majority of the workforce. Which is true.
    Maybe they should have gender quotas enforced also :rolleyes:

    Makes financial sense really :)

    Is it not the case that they weigh the sandwiche when it's finished. So the more in it the higher the charge. The more profit.
