This job posting have surprised me a lot. It states that HTML/CSS Web Developers (female/male) are needed.

I do understand that in theory this depends on local laws, but out of my head I hardly can name a European country where it is legal to constraint sex, gender or age at all. You can not write something like "Python developer, blonde woman in twenties, heavily needed to join our team of seasoned professionals".

So the question is - shouldn't we just ban gender (as well as any non-professional characteristics) indication in job postings? Even if one is so generous that clearly states that he allows females as well :)

UPD: I was wrong, it is a thing in Germany and has nothing to do with sexism, nothing at all.
