I am an employer and I will never recruit women in my company, as you said I don't want to pay for leaves, extra arrangements for so-called security for women and cctv to save me and my male employees from fake "me too" alligations and so on, it is a heavy burden if we hire women

[@mohankrishna3597]

Thank you sir . And if any industry where women can't be stopped hiring like garments they need to paid less to compensate these leaves . Why don't these feminist start their own company and give these kind of leave s

What are you talking about, are you trying to intimidate men(employer), why should we pay for your personal hygiene, you should buy it for yourselves, being weak doesn't mean you(women) can grab money from anybody
