Only Beautiful Women Wanted !

This one got me thinking about a recent thread regarding the School Head who didn't want to hire pregnant women...

What say you to this ?

A Chinese town attempting to improve the image of its municipal security force has attracted controversy by saying they will only hire "tall and attractive" women under the age of 23.

The local government of Xindu, a district of the fashionable south-western city of Chengdu, are seeking to "show the soft side" of the force, or chengguan, according to state newspapers.

Its recruitment notice says it is looking for eight women who are taller than 5ft 3 (1.6 metres) "and of good appearance". They must be aged between 18 and 23, and the contracts will last until they are 26.

The human resources director of the bureau said: "Their main job is to present a good image so they have to be good looking.

"And when they get older, they will get married and have children so it will not be convenient for them to do such work. Having them leave at 26 is for their sake."

Not formally part of the police force, the chengguan are called on to carry out tasks that the regular police regard as beneath them – or contrary to improved standards that are, in some cases, being imposed from above.

They often act as enforcers for municipal evictions and to impose fines and fees on street traders – a role which had led to regular violence and accounts for a large part of their widespread unpopularity.

The authorities insist that the women will be trained and carry out real work, not just be used for decorative purposes.

Good thing is that there aren't enough good looking people to fill all the positions so we can sneak in somewhere ;)

Everyone likes to recruit beautiful and good looking people. These guys are just being open about it.

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder or Beauty is skin deep are some of the most crap sayings used.

People are obsessed with beauty world over.

Women as show pieces .. Where ?

Atleast a relief at the end that the WOMEN will be getting training for the actual work for which they will be hired and not will be a mere show piece...

Mate the second you arrived I got my warning. There must be a link or something, somewhere in your signature that is heading that way.

I'm not sure heels will do it in MJ's case, we could be looking at stilts.

Brit, no its not OK but if women enter the contract being fully aware that they would be fired when they are 26years, then those women are only to be blamed for taking up that job.

tall Chinese women and most of the international beauty contestants comes from this city!

I was stopped by a beautiful motorbike cop once.. She couldn't have been more that 5'3" and sexy to boot..

However, she booked me for having faulty tyres... the biatch :O(

Once again.. So, it's OK to recruit these women for a duration of 5 years and then get rid of them because they are not young anymore ..

By flor1212• 31 Oct 2010 14:22
flor1212

though. Xindu is a highly-commercialized district! The average height of Chinese women is fff!

It is really hard to find a girl taller than 5 ft 3inch, as most of them are 3 to 4 feet tall only. If this will apply to Phillipines or Indonesia, it is also a trouble there. But if they want 7 feet high ladies, let them go to Afghanistan, they are most beautiful also.

For a security job, this is sexist for sure. They are not going to defend by their looks after all.

By Rizks• 31 Oct 2010 14:07

This is China remember .. So 5' 3" is passable. Actually, in the UK, some forces now allow a similar height for PCs..

Anyway, getting back to the topic..

Do you think that its sexist or allowed..

By drmana• 31 Oct 2010 14:02
