'More than just pretty faces' – Police Scotland in 'sexist' job ad row

The selfie of the three women in uniform was uploaded on to Facebook yesterday, sparking an immediate fury.

But, last night, the under-fire single force hit back at the criticism claiming that the recruitment message had, in fact, been written by a woman.

The post caused a huge row on social media with many users complaining that Police Scotland was using outdated language with the image being braned “outrag-eous”, “medieval” and “condescending”.

The message on the page of Edinburgh Police Division added: “From SPC [Special Police Constable] to Superintendent, there are opportunities for everyone in the police. Don’t sit and wonder what it would be like, come and join us – we are recruiting!”

However, social media users immediately claimed that the post would not attract women to join the force, claiming instead that it was sexist.

One commentator, David Grant, said: “Ladies and pretty faces all in the one sentence. Woohoo, it’s 1972 again! Maybe want to rethink that headline?”

Id say they were stretching the truth with the one on the left

It wasn't well thought through. If the women wrote it then that would suggest a bit of social conditioning that they are not even aware of.
