Sounds like a great way of excluding people from the workforce.

Sounds like an opportunity for any of the wealthy left-leaning people to start a competitor and seize market share by hiring those traditional companies consider undesirable.

I've seen a few "female plumber" companies advertising on this basis, with the implied promise of not being rude or patronizing to female customers.

Great at excluding snowflakes which is what you want in those dangerous professions. If you get pissy that someone called you ginger, you're clearly not cut for any demanding and dangerous job. Better stay in your sanitized white collar safe space while you tweet how the world is mean.

Check out professions by suicide rates https://www.registerednursing.org/articles/suicide-rates-pro...

Apparently a lot of construction, extraction installation, maintenance and repair folk have a very bad time of i. Perhaps if they could get decent support in the work place that wouldn't happen. Though I suppose you'd probably conclude it's just natural attrition as the snowflakes kill themselves.

If a workplace has a culture you don't like, they aren't excluding you, you are choosing to exclude yourself.

That's fine, but why do you think the culture should mould to your needs?

I think a professional work culture should generally be such as to allow the people who are capable of doing the work with the minimum ofaggression aimed at them. Controversial, I know.
