Is this sex discrimination?

What ARE women who are pregnant and jobseeking supposed to do?

How about "go and look for jobs" ?

Any more?

This thread has gone OT. I have not read most of the OT arguments on here, but this is a dumba$$ reply as they are already 'jobseeking' .

Ah, it's just that idiophreak has taken a dislike to me, so he has decided to be obtuse. Worry not.

The overall discussion is quite interesting, I thought, although the OP does seem to have given up on us!

Sorry to seem obtuse, or that I dislike you. Neither are particularly the case.

You wanted to know what I'd advise pregnant women out of work to do - I'd advice them to look for work. It's that simple. What more do you want me to say? If you're already jobseeking, you're doing all I'd advise you to do. Further tips on *how* to jobseek and so on really are laughably off topic, but I'll post some tips if you'd like?

I'm not overly comfortable with the way this has been drawn out, I was never commenting on the plight of pregnant women in the first place, more on the plight of *all* women of childbearing age - and pointing out that people with this "can't ask..I have my rights" attitude just make life harder for everyone, those that are pregnant or planning on having children, as well as those that aren't.

I was never interested in answering questions on what pregnant women should do, besides, perhaps - "should pregnant women tell potential employers they're pregnant" - on which I've posted, outlining my views.

It may be worth you taking a deep breath and actually reading through my posts again and working out what I've said to get your back up so much...From what I can gather the words "I'm a man" were all it took for you to "know" my view on all subjects, however removed from the truth they may be. I seem to have been cast as the bad guy here, seemingly because I have the cheek to have testicles. I'll try not to do that again.
