Reading the last line ..I got a jolt.
FEMALE CANDIDATES ARE NOT CONSIDERED
When there is nowhere mentioned in the required qualification that the only male physic or male hormone is needed for performing the job; how could they disqualify a human being who fulfills all the desired and required criteria and qualification for the job!!
Without even interviewing a candidate, how can they conclude that female candidates are not suitable for a particular position!
In the era where women are fairly taking up important positions in big organisations; seeing such a pre-condition in a job advertisement is
illogic and biased.
Personally, I have had the fortune of coming from a fairly liberal family who enabled me pursue higher education. I went on to work for one of the most progressive companies where number of women was higher than the number of men!
As and when I switched jobs and companies, interacted with women from across different organizations; over a period of time, I have realized that the situation in overall realm of the corporate world isn’t so rosy.
