One netizen responding to Nabil’s post opined that NTU is not sexist and that the position is restricted to males because of the job requirements. Facebook user David Takahashi, who says he used to be the Convocation Committee Logistics Manager at the National University of Singapore said:
“Practicality for the specific role not sexism. I was NUS Convocation Committee Logistics Manager. Would you expect a petite 40kg female undergrad to carry 20kg boxes of stores? Much more practical to get a 90kg male to do manual labor.” David’s comment sparked a heated exchange on the comments thread. When Nabil shot back and asked why David“Females are all keyboard warriors. When tasked with the actual job, they fail to deliver. We practised equality and had one male and one female helper. No prizes to guess who did all the heavy lifting and who took the clip board and check list the ENTIRE time. This is first hand experience not anecdotal experience.
When he was called out for making sweeping statements and generalising all women as weak, David resorted to personal attacks against the other netizens in the comments section. Read the comments thread here:
