I swear to fucking christ

Are you a lawyer? Because the legal team of this event made this decision

I'm not citing case law to you just because you think you know better than a team of actual lawyers. Jesus.

chill... just discussing how i feel about a topic on a discussion forum. not that serious, you're under no obligation to reply.

This statement didn't come from lawyers btw. I suggest you look into non discrimination laws and youll see why i feel the way i do.

good lord, relax. he's obviously saying he thinks they should be permitted to have women only events.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Sure. I agree. But they can't have women only hiring fairs. It's the law. They could be sued.

we heard you the first 12 times, dude.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Clearly not understanding though

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

we understand. the point is that it's shitty that it's illegal. it shouldn't be illegal to have a women only event.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Oh, you do understand. Sorry, my bad. I totally agree.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I believe that's what the other guy who was arguing with you was trying to say as well.
