A New Zealand bar has been subject to backlash after posting a job advert which required any female candidates to have DD breasts.<\/p>\n
The advert, stuck on to a window at Stumpers Bar & Cafe in the small West Coast town of Hokitika, has been dubbed sexist and disgusting by locals and social media users alike.<\/p>\n
The sign read: Wanted: Part-time bar staff. Apply within. Must have double D breasts, a great smile and good attitude, the sign read, adding that men were also welcome to apply.<\/p>\n
The shocking advert spread rapidly on social media and its contents split opinion, with some people trying to defend it as humourous, while others called it out as being sexist. <\/p>\n
One man wrote on Twitter: Its clearly a joke to get attention. People need to chill. <\/p>\n
While a woman quipped: See, if it said must have double D breasts, a great smile and a good attitude, but women can also apply that could almost be funny. This is just gross.<\/p>\n
Another woman tweeted: Im only a single D, and also Id rather gouge my own eyes out with a rusty spoon than work anywhere that has an ad like that.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment told the NZ Herald that the ad was in breach of The Human Rights Act 1993, which prohibits publishing a job advertisement that could reasonably be understood as indicating an intention to discriminate.<\/p>\n
Stumpers told the NZ Herald that they did not wish to comment. The Independent has approached Stumpers for comment.<\/p>\n
