NextImg:Women-only editing job ad broke the law, rejected applicant claims

Men need not apply.

An experienced video editor claims he lost out on a job because the company was intent on only hiring a woman.

Jordan Laws applied in July to be a senior editor at PXP Studios, which has offices in Manhattan as well as throughout the country and does video, digital and print advertising work.

“Thanks for reaching out. Are you a senior editor AND colorist AND female? If so, this is the trifecta,” the company responded, apparently assuming “Jordan” was a gender-neutral name, Laws said.

The job ad was specifically for a “woman editor” — a request which violates discrimination laws, contends Laws in his Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit.

“While Mr. Laws was more than qualified for the actual requirements of the advertised position as a senior editor and colorist, he could not complete the so-called ‘trifecta’ PXP Studios wanted because Mr. Laws was not Ms. Laws. This is unlawful discrimination,” he said in court papers.

“Corporate ‘wokism’ is not a lawful exception to violate the laws on sex discrimination,” said the rejected job seeker in the litigation, which seeks unspecified damages.

Jordan Laws claims he was rejected from a job that was “women only.”

“He’s looking for work, and was very upset and taken aback that he was discriminated against,” said his attorney, Joshua Levin-Epstein.

PXP Studios did not immediately respond to messages.
