"There are differences between genders."

For sure. But you're not hiring a sex, you're hiring a person and individuals can match requirements for almost all types of position regardless of sex.

So if i have a job that requires a man, why should i be coerced into paying for showing the ads for women?

You shouldn't IMO.

However, you should also understand that people do get jobs through other people seeing adverts - so worth bearing in mind.
