    If it is an actual job that would be what is referred to as "sexual discrimination" image.  If turned down for a position such as that (if this is a "real" job through the company) for basis of sex, you could surely sue.  image

    I dont think this is sexual disrimantion they are just looking for a females point of view. they are denying you because you are not qqualified to answer from that point of view.

     My friend would probably be interested in doing this.. Although she doesn't have the greatest writing skills, she is female. And that would make her the second female gamer out of possibly thousands of male people wanting this job image.

    Hmmm... I'd like to see the brave soul that came out and said a certain job was open to males only.

    Double standard? You bet it is. But I'm a sexist because I pointed it out.

     "I dont think this is sexual disrimantion"

    Let's test your theory. Place an ad stating that females need not apply. I hope you are a multi-millionaire and feel very guilty about being one because you will not be one for long.

  • StukovStukov Member Posts: 180

    We live in a world of double standards :)

    Anyways, yea...I'd certainly love the job. I'm an AO fan, and meet all those requirements with the exception of the whole female part. Maybe I'll start a male gamers site! ;)

    Hmm..this could be interesting..maybe I will apply for it :)

    Um.. What about just saying you're a female and sign up as your wife/girl-friend/mom or whatever?

    Figured I'd clear this up. This has NOTHING to do with Funcom. Its a 3rd party site, in no way associated with Funcom...:/

    I'd assume that the owners of said site will be paying for it, hence it being free for the person who gets the job.
