| > Should feminists be prevented from joining a company? Depends on the views of those doing the hiring. Should you be allowed to not hire racists? You are literally arguing against freedom of association. We get to choose with whom we do business! That is our right, as well as the status quo today. I don’t hire smokers or ex cops, as I think they are unintelligent and assholes, respectively. If it were legal I would never hire a practicing theist or anyone ex-military, as they are signs to me
of low intelligence and poor
moral character. You have the right as a free person to discriminate against any non-protected group in service of your company and business. Someone’s opinions are fair game for evaluation. Think Windows is better than Linux on servers? Keep
moving. Think being a culture warrior in the US is a prudent move? Same deal. All other things being equal, I prioritize people who have lived in multiple countries over people who haven’t. This necessarily means I am discriminating against those who have not. There are a million attributes we can use to make hiring decisions. It’s not only legal, it’s prudent. |
