Not really, because some jobs are legitimately only available to people a certain gender and so facebook would still need to make a judgement call.



???? like what?


Anything that has a "Bona Fide Occupational Qualification Requirement"(which is the phrase used in the relevant law).

For example are actors/actresses, models, "entertainers"(hooters waitresses)

Is it hard to think of a single job posting that would only be available to only men OR women? Entertainment jobs are especially constrained: Exotic male dancer, exotic female dancer, specific roles in tv/movies/plays, Hooters waitress, etc.


OK you got me, exotic dancers didn't cross my mind xD

TBH it does seem a little discriminatory that a place gets to decide "all our waitresses are women", or "only women dance here", but I can see how industry's could be grandfathered in...
