Care Ashore homes and sexism

The charity Care Ashore is supposed to cater for seafarers. That's what their site states. It doesn't stipulate male seafarers. However It appears to mean that. So they can then stipulate vacancies for men. They are not interested in application from woman ex seafarers.
Good to know that sexism is still rife and it is a woman there who is displaying sexism. She obviously doesn't understand diversity issues.
While ex male seafarers are well catered for and wives, the female ex seafarers who did the same job as the men (not the same jobs as the wives who wore their imaginary stripes on their handbags) paid union fees (and the union donates to these charities) are not well catered for. What is worse, it is often a female who has never had seagoing work exleruence who is exhibiting the prejudice.
