LinkedIn， the job social networking site， has found itself at the center of a sexism storm after it pulled down ad posts of a woman they deemed too attractive to be a real-life web-engineer. 职业社交网站邻客音拒绝了一位美丽女士的广告，认为她太过美丽，不能胜任网络工程师一职，由此陷入了一场性别歧视风波。 The controversy began when developer networking platform Toptal posted a series of advertisements onto LinkedIn aimed at the web-engineering sector. 争端起于网络开发平台Toptal针对网络工程部门，在邻客音上发布了一系列广告。 However， LinkedIn quickly disabled the ads with no explanation and requested images ‘related to the product’， which caused a furious response from Toptal‘s CEO. 然而，邻客音随即屏蔽了广告，并且没有作出解释，还要求发布与产品内容相关的图片，这引起了Toptal总裁的愤怒。 ’The fact of the matter is： members of the tech community (LinkedIn users) saw it as impossible that our female engineers could actually be engineers， and a leader of the tech community (LinkedIn) agreed with them，‘ wrote Toptal’s CEO， Taso Du Val in a blog post. “事实是：邻客音上的技术人员认为女性工程师不可能成为优秀的工程师，并且他们的一位领导也表示赞成”，Toptal的总裁杜瓦尔在博文中写道。 At first， Toptal had simply sent the same advertisements back to LinkedIn， including that of Argentinian web developer Florencia Antara， but LinkedIn barred them. |
