    I don’t believe there are any laws that make that illegal. There are plenty of black only recruiting events, there was one at my college. If you can find me a law that says this is illegal I will bite my tongue, but from what I can tell it applies to employers, not anything close to recruiting events.

      I swear to fucking christ

      Are you a lawyer? Because the legal team of this event made this decision

      I’m not citing case law to you just because you think you know better than a team of actual lawyers. Jesus.

        chill… just discussing how i feel about a topic on a discussion forum. not that serious, you’re under no obligation to reply.

        This statement didn’t come from lawyers btw. I suggest you look into non discrimination laws and youll see why i feel the way i do.

        good lord, relax. he’s obviously saying he thinks they should be permitted to have women only events.

                we understand. the point is that it’s shitty that it’s illegal. it shouldn’t be illegal to have a women only event.

                    I believe that’s what the other guy who was arguing with you was trying to say as well.
