For those who think sex discrimination doesn’t exist…

Well, first of all: Fuck you.
Secondly, check this out:
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has called for an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and a Congressional investigation into Viacom’s hiring practices.
Apparently Viacom sent out an email concerning a job opening in their government relations department reading:
Importance: High We need to hire a junior lobbyist/PAC manager. Attached is a job description. Salary is $85-90K. Must be a male with Republican stripes.
Huh. Nice job, guys.
Melanie Sloan, executive director of CREW said, “This is a blatant violation of federal law prohibiting discrimination against women in hiring…It is stunning that one of the largest corporations in America is so comfortable violating this 40 year-old prohibition that it has openly sent an e-mail advertising its discriminatory hiring practices…”
I would say not so much stunning as it is fucking stupid.
Many thanks to Jenny for the link.
