seemingly-arbitrary gatekeeping exists for a reason
consider software job listings; anyone in the industry knows they're 90% bs & doesn't pay attention to the "requirements"
but some people do & filter themselves out of the applicant pool
this is called selecting for agency
if you're too timid & perfectionist to to apply for a job where you don't meet most of the stated requirements, you're likely not going to be a very good employee, requiring handholding and express permission to do anything useful
mb invest a bit more in your theory of mind
don't feel like replying to yall individually so, here's a thread in response to all those who call this arrogant or deceptive, respectively

RT @pee_zombie
a theme in the replies was that this sort of job listing is effectively a lie, and hence unethical & that to defend this practice is also wrong
I find this a rather interesting way of thinking about institutions & business relationships; rather binary and out of touch w/ realit…
