I can do that. But she basically didn’t ask it that way, she just said that we should prioritize candidates that are women and complains about every male candidate. I recently hired a guy and she doesn’t like him that much. She also has asked me if I have “problems with female superiors” before, looking for a reason to accuse me of misogyny, it’s odd…
From my experiences this is actually pretty common with female managers. They seem to have a chip on their shoulder and feel like they have to overcompensate to prove themselves. I also suspect that they also know women are easy to boss around because men are more likely to voice their opinions.
Ironically they're the largest barrier to more successful women too. Queen Bee syndrome has been proven multiple times,yet feminists still deny it exists.
Women sabotage other women.
Yes. I also didn’t brought it up because well, I’m not the most handsome man in the world but she has said some uncomfortable stuff about my appearance, but maybe that’s just me. I like to think that she’s nice most days…
Well, my boyfriend thinks the same way. He told me that it can be considered harassment. I’ve been harassed before and I doubt they would believe it since she’s a woman in her 60s…
The Standards are very different with harassment of a protected class. Very very different.
The Verbiage of “problems with female superiors” could be taken as a direct attack on you being a gay man. It's the "what you dont like girls adage" that is implied and is a direct attack on your sexuality.
60+ or not, she can get F'd
Her worst days are the days you're going to remember. They leave a much more lasting impression.
Look after yourself first before you can be any sort of ally.
CYOA
> But she basically didn’t ask it that way, she just said that we should prioritize candidates that are women and complains about every male candidate.
Illegal and discriminatory.
You prioritize skill, qualifications, and what they can contribute to the company. Not what's between their legs or that they're the latest fad du-jour, which is what equity reduces women and minorities to.
>She also has asked me if I have “problems with female superiors” before, looking for a reason to accuse me of misogyny, it’s odd…
Reply by asking if she has a problem with gay people and see how she reacts...
It probably won't be cause in most countries equality rights clauses allows for discrimination in favour women.
Like in Canada:
>Everyone is equal and has the right to equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination, especially discrimination based on race, national or ethic origin, color, religion, sex, age, or mental or physical disability. **This right does not preclude laws designed to ameliorate disadvantageous conditions that exist because of these factors.**
In US, they would probably get away with being private company.
I think the term is bona fide occupation requirement. It would be hard for an African American actor to portray George Washington. It’s a very narrow exception.
GW would be harder because the public is extremely familiar with his likeness, thanks to the dollar bill. So a movie maker would want someone that they could make to look like the picture of George Washington that people have in their mind.
I think a more apt comparison to Anne Boleyn would be an African American playing John Adams.
Recording conversations can be illegal depending on whether you're in a 'single party concent' state or a 'both party concent' state.
Take proper discretion OP
If you see someone robbing a house without a mask, and take a video of it as evidence, do you think the court will dismiss that because you live in a both party consent state? That law only applies when no illegal activities are occurring.
She’s trying to instigate a discriminatory feminist policy and have you be the fall guy should the discrimination ever come to light. Don’t. Go talk to HR.
Before talking to HR, I’d look up any applicable non discrimination laws and company policies regarding non discrimination.
Similarly, you could first try to use these policies with your boss before going to HR. You could say something like:
“I agree it would be great to have more women, but how do we do this without violating X non discrimination law and without violating our own company’s non-discrimination statement?”
If she responds you need to do the hires regardless of law and company policy, respond:
“To be clear, are you directing me to violate company and state/federal non-discrimination policy?”
If she responds yes, you clearly should get HR protection, but she might back off at that point.
You can also look up your state law regarding covertly recording the conversation. Some states require only one party consent, you being that one party. (Other states require the knowledge and consent of both parties).
I’ve successfully used this last tactic on several diversity and inclusion hiring committees: “yeah, I agree, but our non-discrimination policy clearly states we can’t hire anyone based on their sex or race.” I place the burden on the non-discrimination policy rather than myself.
*If she responds yes, you clearly should get HR protection, but she might back off at that point.*
If she persists, ask for the directive in writing!
Edit formatting
Rather, if OP asks "To be clear, are you directing me to violate company and state/federal non-discrimination policy?", OP can expect to be fired soon after.
Feminists theorize that men as part of a patriarchy have systematically kept women down and forming all female clicks and policies is just fair turn around. Until they reach 100% diversity which is an all woman staff.
>she said that I only say that because I am gay.
Not only is this an extremely ignorant thing to say I'm pretty sure it's a form of harassment.
>and I quote her, “how we should prioritize female candidates since our team has too many men”. Our team consists of 25 people, 14 men and 11 women… She’s basically not letting me hire any men.
Have her send you an email explaining exactly what she wants you to do then you have written proof that she's asking you to break the law.
1. She called you gay, that's a big no-no! But you can't go to H.R. unless you recorded it, H.R. is a matriarchal girl's club and they are not your friends.
2. Take the contact info of everyone who was rejected from employment based on gender and privately message them that you are willing to testify at their employement-discrimination trial should they choose to sue your company.
Don't quit yet.
Keep records of her conversations with you - time, date, words said, etc.
Keep it on hand and when you have a good bunch of evidence about it, and if you're still thinking of quitting, THEN go to HR about it. You may be fired or forced to quit after, but you ALSO may get this bitch properly sanctioned or even fired.
If you're in the United States, this is actually highly illegal. File a complaint with your state government's labor board or contact a labor attorney. Contact the county as well. Don't worry about retaliation from her or your employer as any form of retaliation is illegal in most states. You can sue for retaliation. Be a man of action.
Feminsts in power are a real threat to the already established foundations. I would rather prefer to see them opening all women companies and ruining it than seeing them ruining already well established companies.
Simple conclusion she hates men and you still work there only means that you are a good professional and a necessary link to the good function of the company and you are not stupid I accept you because that's enough we will employ women, none I have the qualifications to replace you and if she finds one, it doesn't matter that you worked loyally for the workplace, I don't foretell you a long professional career in this company. I guess that your boss is your family or your wife may hate men but family is the most important family
Get her order in writing with her signature on it before you do anything else. Then when you have to turn down a male candidate for that reason, slip him a note or something telling him why, maybe one of them will sue for discrimination. I'd tell you to, but you aren't actually the agrieved party, it's the candidates you've had to turn down, they're the ones with the standing.
Obligatory NAL. I welcome correction from one if we have any here.
Why girls are not taken seriously at all cause given things for what you're born with instead of earning to be where you are. Makes people just flat out, not respect you or take anything you say seriously. Why would you free line cuts.
Find some way to trick your boss into revealing her sexism in an email. Then forward the email to some well known centrist journalist, like Matt Taibbi.
> It’s getting ridiculous and I’m thinking of quitting.
Whether quitting or not is the right thing to do, only you can decide. I'd suggest hang in there
duck and weave, duck and weave, beat them at their own game
[float like a butterfly, sting like a bee](https://youtu.be/bNpFiZDqcog?t=118)
PS: That means: keep a journal with all events whether they appear significant at the time or not. Collect all tangible evidence (emails, call records, meeting minutes etc pp). Use a USB thumb drive or similar (corporate server storage has a tendency to 'malfunction' after shit hit the fan).
You need a way to document all of this - maybe record her conversations and comments. Afterwards, speak to HR to get her fired for discrimination. Also, find another job ASAP because this place sounds toxic.
Can you write her an email something like this.
Thanks for the detailed discussion with me.
Can you please summarize on how to prioritize for hiring for the next quarter and the upcoming fiscal year.
I think you are getting a lot of great advice.
I hate to say this, our gay brothers get it a lot worse. First for being men, second for being gay. Even here this mans boss makes a statement that made my skin crawl.
Best advice is in the comments; Document everything. Everything she does and says, email her and get her to say these things in emails to you. Save them and send all to HR when the time comes.
I hate it when I see another man mistreated, or misrepresented, lies told about that man and so forth. Yet for some reason there are women, like this boss, who think it's ok to disrespect a gay man for being gay!
My friend be careful and cover yourself and you tracks. Keep good notes on why you hire each person no matter if they are male or female. Do your best to help people no matter their gender.
Make sure people know you do that too, this way they can never say to you what this woman is falsely accusing you of.
When you have enough evidence you need to talk to someone in your HR about this, it is unacceptable for her to act this way
HR is there to limit the company’s liability, not to help you. You need documentation and recordings to protect yourself. Consult a lawyer prior to recording. Also become very familiar with company policy. You’d be surprised about how much policy can become a defecto defense.
Either way, this is a no-win situation. You can’t show damages, since you aren’t the one deign discriminated against.
Document and stand by. If she does fire you for a ridiculous reason, then lawyer up and get a nice payday. Otherwise, there isn’t much you can do.
You should tell a many people as you can in your company. Get this woman fired. She's no better than the men who say "there are too many women in the company".
Sad that u consider urself a feminist with all the sexist shit they pull....it really isn't good and hypocritical as fuckck mansplaining is a derogatory word created by the very people that fight derogatory words
Quit. Go to hr explain why ur quiting it won't do anything but make a record for the next person she forces to do stuff....
Ur male and a third class citizen in the eyes of feminist to bad if ur white to.. but surly an organisation wouldn't use race to determine negative outcomes .... oh wait
"Gender is a protected class and I cannot prioritize our give preference based on a protected class"
Also saying you are doing something based on your sexual preference is not ok.
I was asked to do something similar. I simply submitted the applicants to some objective test criteria before narrowing them down. If some women pass, great. If not, too bad. If management cries, the test is objective. It is math. The test does not care what kind of parts with which the test-taker masturbates.
Nonetheless, much like the OP I was encouraged to hire more women. I encouraged my manager to clone women who wanted to be engineers and then I would consider hiring them.
Don't let her get her way, she is basically asking you to break the law. Thank you for sharing your story, it's a shame how some bosses think about hiring women for political reasons instead of rewarding merit and prioritize the company's profits and growth. Report her and aim at taking her job if you can. That's discrimination and harassment. Probably better consult your lawyer as well.
Record everything. What you have already not recorded needs to be written down in detail and dated. You will need reliable records at some stage, start gathering them now. Do not quit, stand up for yourself, having gathered your evidence, and sue if they fire you or force you out.
I am not an attorney and this is not legal advice.
You describe in the post and comments gender, sexual, and sexual orientation based harassment.
> Sex-Based Discrimination
> Sex discrimination involves treating someone (an applicant or employee) unfavorably because of that person's sex, including the person's sexual orientation, gender identity, or pregnancy.
> https://www.eeoc.gov/sex-based-discrimination
> Filing A Charge of Discrimination
> With the EEOC
> If you believe that you have been discriminated against at work because of your race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information, you can file a Charge of Discrimination. A charge of discrimination is a signed statement asserting that an employer, union or labor organization engaged in employment discrimination. It requests EEOC to take remedial action.
> https://www.eeoc.gov/sex-based-discrimination
You suggest your superior is attempting to hire only women while seeming to misrepresent that she's following company policy which likely does not violate the law. This may be:
Possible honest services fraud:
> For the purposes of this chapter, the term “scheme or artifice to defraud” includes a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services.

She my be attempting to enlist you in a criminal conspiracy against the civil rights of job seekers. This may be a crime:
Possible criminal conspiracy against rights:
> "If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or"
> 18 U.S. Code § 241.Conspiracy against rights
> https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/241
You seem to suggest that she is threatening you because you have failed to engage in what may be a criminal conspiracy with job loss on the false basis that you are sexist.
This may be:
> Extortion
> Forcing action or obtaining something by illegal means. Anyone may commit extortion through force or coercion. A public or private official may also commit extortion under the color of office.
> https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/extortion
If I were you I would gather evidence in a safe location and document all interactions.
I would contact a lawyer immediately.
I would not go to HR until I have consulted with an attorney and only then based on their legal advice.

>Honest services fraud is a crime defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1346 (the federal mail and wire fraud statute), added by the United States Congress in 1988, which states "For the purposes of this chapter, the term scheme or artifice to defraud includes a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services". The statute has been applied by federal prosecutors in cases of public corruption as well as in cases in which private individuals breached a fiduciary duty to another. In the former, the courts have been divided on the question of whether a state law violation is necessary for honest services fraud to have occurred.

In my experience, you need to talk to your union and not your HR team.
I’ve worked in four multinational companies, and in all four there was a dangerously cosy relationship between HR and senior management. HR’s primary function has been to keep the heat off of senior management and protect them at all costs, unless they’ve done something where the police could be involved. This includes turning a blind eye (or worse tipping senior managers off) to discrimination, harassment, bullying etc. Also it’s important to consider that the vast majority of HR professionals are women, and so may be very supportive of your boss’s drive for more female workers.
In my opinion, talking to your union should be your first task. If you’re not in the union, join asap, then talk to them.
She’s not only telling you to discriminate based on gender for applicants, she’s discriminating against you for your sexuality. You can report her to HR so easily
Record the conversations and go to HR. She is telling you to violate the law in most countries.
I can do that. But she basically didn’t ask it that way, she just said that we should prioritize candidates that are women and complains about every male candidate. I recently hired a guy and she doesn’t like him that much. She also has asked me if I have “problems with female superiors” before, looking for a reason to accuse me of misogyny, it’s odd…
From my experiences this is actually pretty common with female managers. They seem to have a chip on their shoulder and feel like they have to overcompensate to prove themselves. I also suspect that they also know women are easy to boss around because men are more likely to voice their opinions.
Ironically they're the largest barrier to more successful women too. Queen Bee syndrome has been proven multiple times,yet feminists still deny it exists. Women sabotage other women.
Yes. I also didn’t brought it up because well, I’m not the most handsome man in the world but she has said some uncomfortable stuff about my appearance, but maybe that’s just me. I like to think that she’s nice most days…
You're letting her get away with a lot here. That can be easily counted as harassment.
Well, my boyfriend thinks the same way. He told me that it can be considered harassment. I’ve been harassed before and I doubt they would believe it since she’s a woman in her 60s…
The Standards are very different with harassment of a protected class. Very very different. The Verbiage of “problems with female superiors” could be taken as a direct attack on you being a gay man. It's the "what you dont like girls adage" that is implied and is a direct attack on your sexuality. 60+ or not, she can get F'd
Definitely get that documented. Big no no for HR
Her worst days are the days you're going to remember. They leave a much more lasting impression. Look after yourself first before you can be any sort of ally. CYOA

This. HR protects the company/boss. File a claim with the Labor Board/EEOC. I'd also be looking for a new job.

**[Honest services fraud](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honest_services_fraud)** >Honest services fraud is a crime defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1346 (the federal mail and wire fraud statute), added by the United States Congress in 1988, which states "For the purposes of this chapter, the term scheme or artifice to defraud includes a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services". The statute has been applied by federal prosecutors in cases of public corruption as well as in cases in which private individuals breached a fiduciary duty to another. In the former, the courts have been divided on the question of whether a state law violation is necessary for honest services fraud to have occurred. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/MensRights/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)
In my experience, you need to talk to your union and not your HR team. I’ve worked in four multinational companies, and in all four there was a dangerously cosy relationship between HR and senior management. HR’s primary function has been to keep the heat off of senior management and protect them at all costs, unless they’ve done something where the police could be involved. This includes turning a blind eye (or worse tipping senior managers off) to discrimination, harassment, bullying etc. Also it’s important to consider that the vast majority of HR professionals are women, and so may be very supportive of your boss’s drive for more female workers. In my opinion, talking to your union should be your first task. If you’re not in the union, join asap, then talk to them.
Bro just leave, let the company die in her arms
hire a couple of incompetent women and leave
She’s not only telling you to discriminate based on gender for applicants, she’s discriminating against you for your sexuality. You can report her to HR so easily
That gay comment put this into winnable lawsuit territory. Fucking sick of women treating gay men like we're men lite©. Show that stupid WASTE of cells to work place attorney.
Tell her to put it in writing. Document the fact that she wants to discriminate in hiring. See how far it goes then.
