A builder has been accused of sexism after advertising for a male apprentice on Twitter. Stuart Napper, from Essex, took to the social media site on Monday to share an advert for a roofer to work for him, specifying that he was 'looking for a young lad'. The father-of-six wrote: 'Looking for a young lad who wants a job. Roofing. In the Stansted area. Driving licence be good but not essential. No lazy little sh**s who want £100 a day and sit on their phones. Must have good personal hygiene and no lip. Re tweets appreciated.' And users quickly flooded the tweet, which has since received almost 6,000 retweets and likes, with comments slamming him for not including women in his job profile. ![]() ![]() ![]() Not mincing his words, Stuart explained that most women do not have the physical strength needed to work on a building site. He replied: 'Yes will only consider males. Unless the woman is a world class body builder she won't be able to lift half the stuff. Not sexist just fact. I got 4 daughters so I'm all about equal rights etc etc but sometimes women can't do it.' And another accused the builder of gender discrimination, writing: 'What's wrong with a young woman? You know that's in breach of the law don't you? Widen your search, you might be pleasantly surprised what women are capable of.' But not backing down Stuart hit back with: 'You know any women who can carry 60kg up a ladder then a roof?? Send them my way and I'll happily employ them.' Meanwhile, one woman warned him that he could face a fine for discrimination, tweeting: 'Before you find yourself in too much trouble..speaking as a female farmer! 'An advert that indicates that only people of one sex are eligible for selection is discriminatory and unlawful, unless an occupational requirement applies. Does it?' ![]() http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...pprentice.html ![]() Too many SJW saw the ad it seems but the ladsladslads roofer put them back in their boxes |
