Chinese Tech Companies Post Men-Only Job Listings, Report Finds (theverge.com)
Major Chinese tech companies like Huawei, Alibaba, and Tencent discriminate against women in their online job listings, a new report from Human Rights Watch found today. Some job postings directly state they are for men only, while others specify that women must have attractive appearances and even be a certain height. The Verge reports: The Human Rights Watch report reveals gender discrimination amongst major tech companies, as in the rest of Chinese society, is common and widespread. Search engine Baidu listed a job for content reviewers in March 2017 stating that applicants had to be men with the "strong ability to work under pressure, able to work on weekends, holidays and night shifts." The conglomerate Tencent, which owns WeChat, the massive game Honor of Kings, and a majority stake in League of Legends, was found to have posted an ad for a sports content editor in March 2017, stating it was looking for "strong men who are able to work nightshifts."
And Alibaba, despite Jack Ma touting the company's inclusiveness, merited an entire case study from the Human Rights Watch report. The report noted the e-commerce giant came under fire in 2015 for posting a job ad on its site for a "computer programmer's motivator" seeking women applicants with physical characteristics like Japanese adult film star Sola Aoi. Alibaba removed the reference to Sola Aoi after media reported on it, but kept the ad on the site. As recently as January this year, Alibaba still mentioned "men preferred" in job listings for "restaurant operations support specialist" positions. Tech companies also often tout the attractive women they've hired as incentives for more men to come on board, according to the HRW report. Both Tencent and Baidu were noted to have posted to their social media accounts interviews with male employees who cited having beautiful women around them as an incentive for working there.

How are they going to check if the woman has a pixilated crotch?
Anyone stirring social unrest in China risks getting government-paid one way ticket to a reeducation camp. So there aren't any SJWs in China.
What this point demonstrates that it is Liberalism, Freedom of Speech, and strong protections of Personal Rights that allow SJWs to exist. Ironically, SJWs are against Freedom of Speed (preferring freedom from being offended), are very illiberal, and actively advocate for discrimination and diminishing of rights of majority.
This is the ultimate opportunity to use the scientific method to prove which is the superior way of doing this. We have a "sexist/madmen" society in China and a "tolerant, inclusive, sensitive" society in the United States. If the United States comes out on top/stays on top over the next 20 years, the SJWs can declare victory. If not, we can all say that their worldview has been fundamentally falsified by a direct comparison of two very different societal paradigms.
(Yes, my money is on China because China is betting on male aggressiveness and competitiveness whereas the United States is increasingly convinced that there is nothing wrong with men that cannot be fixed by making us more like women.)
Who gets to define what constitutes progress? Why is progress presumed to be good?
Chinese are not idiots, Chinese know that women suck at everything, which is something that you can clearly see not just on history books, but also in every single aspect of life. This is why the one-child rule made the Chinese parents murder women nonstop. If you are poor and can only have one child (rich parents could afford to pay a fine), better not to waste it on a useless woman. Indian families traditionally stop having children at the first girl born, to avoid the huge danger of birthing two. That's how much women suck, and how little they contribute to society and the economy of the families.
In fact, pretending that they don't is a huge mistake, and unfair to everyone. You give them a push and let a woman become the first helicopter pilot and she crashes it killing herself. You hire an all-women team of engineers to create a bridge, and it crumbles killing hundreds, due to a child-like mistake that anybody would have noticed, if they had paid attention to the bridge instead of what was in between the legs of the contractors. You hire women nurses, and they murder the patient so she has less work to do. These are not hypothetical examples, these are recent real-life tragedies that happen because society has not only became blind to the legendary uselessness of women, but like anarchic children, deny reality and now claim that they are the superior sex and angels of light.
Marriage contracts everywhere required bribing the man, and women became his entire responsibility, like children they are. Now we became idiots and let women divorce freely and leech half the fortune of the ex-husband for the grace of being an useless woman, who never did anything to merit it, and never will contribute to society except to its downfall. Now men who work don't marry, and as women refuse to marry men who don't work (as there's nothing to steal), no children are born at all. In our countries, only Muslims marry and have many children, and that's because they run their parallel justice system that explicitly scraps this idiocy that only rewards gold-diggers and greedy lawyers.
At no time in human history has a society managed by women survive, so in the near future we will go extinct, and the Chinese will inherit the Earth, free to destroy its ecology and eat all endangered species to extinction like they already do. We will have effectively destroyed everything worth fighting for, but at least our society won't be "sexist", whatever that means in the grand scheme of things. Not even the history books will consider that a good thing, as the Chinese historians will probably mock us as much as they currently do, then treat the women like children forever, using our downfall as solid evidence that it is the right thing to do.
