explains it pretty well

[Edited on February 10, 2010 at 4:22 PM. Reason : ^more than female mechanical engineers]

Quite a few, actually.

2/10/2010 4:22:04 PM

i've heard stories of them, never seen one.

2/10/2010 4:22:10 PM

^^^Yeah, seems pretty straightforward on that one.

2/10/2010 4:22:23 PM

LOL. The pay is $282 per month.

2/10/2010 4:24:02 PM

I am friends with some female chemical engineers.

2/10/2010 4:24:03 PM

I don't think Jordan should be allowed to participate in the exchange program if they won't allow women to work there.

yea, but it is only an internship

2/10/2010 4:38:24 PM

it's a cultural thing


nothing personal to the women.




believe me, as someone who has been to Jordan...you wouldn't want to be a female over there anyways, intern or not.

2/10/2010 4:40:29 PM

it's an engineering internship. they usually pay much better than that.

[Edited on February 10, 2010 at 4:41 PM. Reason : like at least 10x better]

2/10/2010 4:41:00 PM

well I'm not planning on taking a vacation there or anything. They can be sexist all they want to but I just don't understand why they are allowed to participate if they are sexist. What if it said no minorities allowed or no whites allowed. Would they be allowed to participate then too?

2/10/2010 4:44:56 PM

go burn a bra or something

2/10/2010 4:46:32 PM

in some ways it would be discriminatory to NOT let them participate in it because of their views.


look i see what you're saying, and i agree with you.


but it's a non-westernized society... shit is WAY different when it comes to women in the workforce... and it's a good opportunity for a male student, so why not?

2/10/2010 4:47:11 PM

No whites would be pretty funny actually

2/10/2010 4:47:19 PM

nah, my bras are way too expensive to burn

2/10/2010 4:47:38 PM

^ for real... they're not cheap


(okay not bmel's specifically necessarily... but in general!)

2/10/2010 4:48:16 PM

Their company, their rules. Leave them be.

Maybe it should say
Intern must be male or ugly female (so the other men on site don't get distracted or tries to claim you as their property)

2/10/2010 6:15:16 PM

Not that uncommon...

I've been on a few projects at work for certain countries that don't believe anything a woman does is worth anything. That truly believe that women are less than men. So their rules for working on these projects is 'NO WOMEN IF IT CAN AT ALL BE AVOIDED'

2/10/2010 6:18:43 PM

I'm more interested in this part

maybe there is instrumentation that can only be operated by a penis

like a wangofuge or something

2/10/2010 6:21:55 PM

Maybe the internship involves driving.

2/10/2010 6:28:11 PM

can't be, there's nothing about Asiatic decent

2/10/2010 6:29:35 PM

Do they put you up? I've had 2 internships with gender requirements because of housing situations.
