(1,804 posts)how honest the intent was (and it most certainly was), this is the very thing we rail against. Gender bias, etc.
Government has no business mandating things based on gender or anything else where they aren't the hiring company. And even then, the only factor should be qualifications and skill. Their only say in the matter should be dealing with those who do show biases in the hiring process.

Any other case is really not a problem, typically lauded.

(51,525 posts)Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
