EMPLOYERS & THE GENDER DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES THEY USE ON THE JOB AND IN THE HIRING PROCESS

TO LAWMAKERS:

Stop employers from using and enforcing stereotypical Male and Female job roles in employment.  When creating jobs, also look at the hiring practices of employers.  Are they blind when placing the genders in certain departments or do they have a preference and if so, why?

Here are a few examples:

If you owned a bakery in any downtown in any given city, which gender would you hire to work at the registers and wait on customers?  &  which gender would you hire to work in the "back" baking, cooking, cleaning, basically the heavy, dirty work?


If you owned a flower shop, which gender would you hire to work in the store arranging flowers etc, etc.?  &  which gender would you hire to do deliveries of the flowers?

If your answers to the questions were on the thinking of " IT DOESN'T MATTER " then we're good!
but, if your answers were on the thinking of " PREFERENCE " then we have a problem!


Why would Mr. McGee hire Jane over John, both have the same credentials. Maybe he rather look at sexy Jane everyday he comes to work than to have to look at john.

Who do I trust more, Jane or John, or who is more trustworthy?

Who would look better in my store or who would the customers be more accepting/comfortable with?


These are not all, but just some of the gender discriminatory practices and thinking that some employers project onto employees, which also can affect job hiring statistics


PLEASE BE AWARE  OF THIS GROWING PROBLEM!!!
