Is This The Answer To Same Sex Hiring?

[vanessan]

I have just read an article about a Captain who, after a training exercise, took his group of 30 squaddies to a pub. Unsurprisingly they were stopped at the door by a bouncer refusing entry to ‘a large group of men’. A quick witted young soldier said ‘actually we identify collectively as a mixed-gender group and as a gender non-binary adult, I find your remarks most offensive’. The bouncer backed down and the group enjoyed Happy Hour all night. I wonder what a boatyard’s response might be to a group of young men wanting to hire - answers on a postcard please.

I agree with the squaddie maybe same SEX but who can make the generalisation that they are in fact the same gender

I hope that sounds right and makes sense to others ?

Err, I think so.

to be fair, a group of squaddies nowadays could well contain a percentage of the fairer sex. I'm not sure its up to 50/50 yet, but who knows.
