It's unacceptable - sexism. That's how I feel and I felt I have to object.

Discriminating in the name of fighting discrimination is just a way to get more discrimination.

I am not going to attack you or anything, I guess your intentions are pure, I just have to express my objection and ask you to please reconsider your position.

Not feeling attacked or anything. Thanks for sharing your feedback and feelings.

I also feel like focusing on the gender gap and inequality in tech and trying to fix it in some way is something not that simple to do.

P.S. Men can also apply to any job from TinyGigs.co - but hopefully companies and women alike will feel that on TinyGigs there's a place to connect more easily

Thank you for reasonable response to the feedback, I know it can be very delicate subject and some tend to freak out.

I can wish you luck, but it wouldn't be sincere in context of this project and how it's advertised, so let me just wish you personally, as an individual being, all the best.

Thanks for a quick convo.
