Hiring someone just because they are a woman is equally as bad as not hiring someone because they are a woman.

That said when I'm hiring, I'll hire the best candidate in front of me based on skills and experience, gender doesn't/shouldn't affect their work

It really isn't.

Edit seriously, this is a dumb as gently caress post.

Someone literally just posted that they would hire a woman over any man.

That's dumb as gently caress.

Edit: and if for some reason I need to defend being feminist, 75% of chefs I trained under were women and I've hired plenty of women. But hiring someone BECAUSE they are a woman is not progressive.

No I don't give a gently caress about progressivism. I legitimately think any generic man is significantly more likely to be a bad hire than any generic woman.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Great, that's literally what sexism is, and the opposite of feminism.

Men and women can both be lovely or great employees and choosing who you hire based on their genitals is sexist as gently caress.

Can we get back to less controversial topics like how much BOH sucks and how much FOH rules?

A little more seriously: I think the people saying they'd hire women over men are mostly talking about back of house, which is a very male dominated area and they are being hyperbolic because they've likely seen a poo poo ton of sexist poo poo happen back of house, and also a ton of sexual assault happen back of house.

Not to say the harassment or assault doesn't happen up front either, just no one loses out on a job waiting tables for being a woman

Explain how, I'm genuinely interested how you can determine someone's hirability based on their sex without being sexist.

Edit: I hire in back of house, and I've hired qualified female candidates who have applied, but I don't sort candidates by sex because that's both a) sexist, and b) a stupid thing to do

Edit 2: how is maintaining a sexist hiring practice helping to end sexist culture in BOH?

Agreed. If it's something like shrimp cocktail, leave the half-tails on for a handle. If it's a shrimp boil, leave on all the heads and legs and everything, I don't care. But if it's in pasta, gently caress that, I don't want to reach into my pasta and get sauce all over my hands every two minutes.

I can understand this position without agreeing with it. A woman in a kitchen (that's good) HAS to be driven and kick a lot more rear end/haul a bunch more weight to get recognized in the industry; if they have experience, you know they've earned it.

But I also think its equally biased to go 'there are lazy kitchen workers that exist, most cooks are male' and leap of logic that to 'dudes tend to be lazier'.

What's even more concerning to me is that this viewpoint seems to work for them; and is thusly reinforcing itself, even if its rooted in wrongness.

Front of house wise, I try and not work valentines, whether it's a diner or somewhere with a $150 prix fixe.

Edit: I would take someone out to a restaurant during restaurant week, I would never eat out on Valentines, if my better half can't cook I can make something pretty good myself and we can either stay in or go to a bar or a club after.

I have thankfully never served a table where someone proposed during the meal. I have no idea what I would do, I guess stand back and pretend to be happy assuming the other person said yes. But probably just try and get as far away as possible.

Geez Louise, I didn't think my post would start this big of a slapfight. Sorry, posters/mods.

A place I applied for couple months ago to be a cook (I really like their menu and looks like a promising venue) just posted a CL ad looking for a dishwasher. I'm no stranger to dishpit, and I loving need the money. How do I sell myself to this place? Like, I want to say "I will basically do anything short of sucking cock, please just give me a paycheck" but looking so desperate (which I am) ain't a good look either.

Walk into the place resume in hand and ask to speak to the chef. Tell them you have experience and are willing to do whatever needs to be done. After that it's just a matter of proving yourself.

You might be stuck in the dishpit for a bit but so be it. If you need the money then you need the money.

If you walked into my restaurant while it was open with a resume asking to speak to me, I would tell you to gently caress off. If you don't have the basic understanding that we are busy and don't have time for that, I don't want you. What kind of boomer poo poo is this?

I haven't always worked in an airport, obviously. And my statement stands now too. There is a reason why online job postings usually say poo poo like "do not apply in person, do not contact the establishment during business hours".

What others have said probably, don't put the first name on the resume. They live in small podunk towns which are almost universally racist and sexist, and a feminine or "ethnic" name is a handicap in those environments.

Whether you'd make preference to a woman hire over a man is simply if you believe in affirmative action. I would hire a not white male given two otherwise equal candidates and call it progressive. Similarly people like my boss think white men are UNDER ATTACK and will give preference to me and other pasty white dudes even if we are underqualified. It's NOT RIGHT that there are MINORITIES in HARVARD. You'll find more of the latter in small towns ime.
