That is a great song title... I've never come across the term until now, but it is a little sexist. Then again you could say that an job ad at a host club is sexist, because they only will employ guys.
"It means a girl to work Saturdays" Why is it sexist to work on Saturdays? Yes it sucks but whats it to you if people want to work Saturdays. I don't understand this thread. Is it the girl part, are you saying it's sexist because they are only employing girls? Which tbf would be sexist.
It's not sexist. I can say I'm looking for a Saturday boy- it means nothing more than somebody who works on Saturdays. It might have a negative connotation for the easily offended, but honestly that is not sexist.
Excluding males, so yes, it is sexist. I have seen the same thing around here. Good luck being male and getting a receptionist position. I have seen them specifically asking for a "nice lady". It would be like an ad for a police department saying, "Looking for a few good men".
I suppose I could understand for a lingerie store or something like that. But it would have to be a very female-centric establishment to warrant this. Otherwise, I still say it is sexist.
It is sexist but, to be honest, what should be done about it? If the employer wants a girl to work on Saturdays so be it.
Maybe it is sexist. Unless you can read the person's mind that put this up, it's hard to confirm that. There's a line between what is best for my business and when is it being exclusive? Around here, men and women will have certain advantages in certain areas, not necessarily due to their sex but because, for whatever reason, having a man/woman in that spot reaps some benefit. For example, 90% of cashiers when I have worked retail were women. They seem to generate a more positive experience to customers, which was backed up by all those 'call in/report how well I'm doing' surveys. Women were receiving more/better reports up to 3 times. However, men trumped the women when it came to being sales associates, as in who did people prefer or like having to talk to them about products, showing them where to go, and so on and so forth. This is just my experiences, but it is something to consider and ponder over. Is there some ignorance or stupidity involved in any of this? Some, I'd say, but often times how a population will respond is essential to a business, especially if the said goal of the business is to promote a particular vibe or generate a profit. So instead of just wagging our fingers at those who put up signs asking for a particular sex, we should extend those wagging fingers to the societies that enforce these motives for doing such things.
