Facebook Is Letting Job Advertisers Target Only Men
I&#x27;m a bit mixed about this; it is clearly discriminatory to publish a job ad that says &quot;women need not apply&quot;, but it doesn&#x27;t feel inherently discriminatory to advertise a job in, say, &quot;Men&#x27;s Health&quot; but not &quot;Cosmopolitan&quot; magazine. Or to advertise on a particular television channel or program (whose viewers may not match the population at large). That&#x27;s just how advertising works. Is that crazy?<p>Would this be different if, for example, Facebook was targeting people for job ads based on &quot;people who like action movies&quot; or &quot;people who like romance novels&quot; (I&#x27;m stereotyping here, but just assume you pick a category that ends up being a decent proxy for gender)?
