Australia: Exclusively female roles are being advertised by universities to close the gender gap

Article here. Excerpt:

'A growing number of Australian universities are advertising 'female only' roles in a bid to encourage women to apply for historically male-dominated jobs.

The University of Adelaide is the latest educational institution seeking to balance the gender issue, recently advertising eight senior positions in engineering, IT and mathematical science – just for women.

Adelaide's decision follows the call out from the University of Melbourne earlier this year which sought five women for lucrative titles at associate professor and lecturer level.
...
According to a recent article from Whimn, the move takes advantage of a legal loophole which allows organisations to exclusively recruit women in order to ensure equal opportunities for all genders and sexual orientations.

Technology, engineering and science have long been considered the realms of men, with female professionals significantly outnumbered across these industries.'

Given how repellant being a college prof is these days for men, soon no one with a dick will want the job. God knows I don't.

I wonder when they will apply strict 50/50 gender quotas to all of the jobs on campus? Oh, . . . never.

[s]Gee, I wonder why that is?[/s]

Funny how quotas only seem to get introduced when it is women who are lagging behind. Truly pathetic.

Refuse collectors on campuses I am sure are mostly men. AND YET, you won't see campus feminists talking about that.
