Not so much that. . . although laws of averages say that some maybe even most are you know?
This doesn't lessen the validity of what they are saying mind you. I am pointing out that women as a stereotype tend to be irrationally sensitive to the topic.
I am also thinking that women reading the OP's original post are imagining some girl that is somewhat overweight, versus say morbidly obese, that uses fashion and such to put on a great physical presentation and has the type of personality that can talk jumpers down from ledges.
I am not getting that at all from my reading. I am envisioning someone that is sloppy looking for whatever reason and has a personality that not only adds nothing to the Recruitment event, but may possibly detract from it also.
I am positive if that she had people skills that would allow her to talk jumpers down from heights she would be in the forefront of recruitment regardless of anything else.
National may be shallow but they aren't actually stupid.

Excluding a member of one's organization from recruitment, for any superficial reason (barring situations such as low grades or failing to live up to the organization's standards) is unethical and should be unacceptable, based solely upon the ideals of the organization. Just for the record, I am not overweight, either.  |
