I remember there was some topic sometime back about jobs that eunuchs may be specifically suited to...

Has anyone ever tried advertising in the newspapers for a job, emphasizing the fact that you're in the eunuch?

I remember one time a big marijuana drug dealer got busted. After he served his jail sentence, he took out an ad in the paper saying he was an ex-drug dealer, talking about all the logistics he had to deal with in his drug dealing job. He ended up getting a lot of job offers.

HAP,

I happen to be good at my data processing job, been in the I.T. business since 1976. You do the math.

My income ability has nothing to do with the fact I am a man with no testicles. The wage earning ability was there long before my testicles were removed.

I see no reason to advertise for a position in the I.T. business because I have no testicles. Do you think having no testicles makes me more valuable in the work force? If so, tell me why.

Take care,

Well it certainly would be an "eye catcher" and expression of "creativity" by the person who is seeking the job. To show also that he is NOT afraid to tell it "like it is", a reality type person of the right CALIPER for that job. Right ???/Johan-in-Washington, N3RF

Robby,

I can see those male managers doing the hiring crossing there legs and there voices going up at the thought.

You of course are right, its none of there business.

Once you get over this, though, there is the honesty factor.

In addition, you don't have to worry about sexual harassment of the pretty females in the business...

There are advantages, and if they have the attitude that River describes, well, take it from me, you wouldn't want to be involved in such a "Good 'Ole Boy" network, anyway...

I would disagree with this...the mere fact that the person made it known that he had his testicles removed...and advertised as such, would make me think twice about hiring that person...for precisely that reason...it's naive to think that the person who advertised that they are a eunuch seeking a job would not bring it up in conversation during their time in the office.

Just to play it safe, i would never hire someone who placed an ad like that...since they would then come back with the fact that the person doing the hiring knew that the potential employee was out and open about his being a eunuch.

Sorry...i know that sucks...but if you really looked at it, it would only make sense.

I would agree with the above...

Let me pose this question: Do we ask women to advertise for work if they have the ovaries removed? I think not. It's nobody's business and it should not be a subject for discussion, and it does not make one more desirable than another.

My two cents...

Take care,

I would think that if this person had a skill that I really needed and could not get any other, I would forgive his "exentricities". N3RF

The problem with this idea, is that a prospective employer not employing a eunuch, probably has little to do with whether or not the eunuch is able to do the job. But rather, the idea of eunuchs themselves.

Eunuchs do not officially exist. They are a myth on the page of a history book, or a strange freak from the dark ages. Until this view of society can be challenged, advertising yourself as a eunuch probably won't get you very far.

In fact, someone advertising themselves as an experienced childminder/babysitter or caregiver who is castrated may actually be turned down on the grounds that 'he' is mentally unstable to work with vounerable members of society.

This is not a shortcoming in eunuchs skills, but societies views and prejudices.

And obviously, being a eunuch would not give you any skill you don't already have - but this does not mean eunuchs and men are equal. There are some jobs probably better suited for eunuchs because of their nature (not ability)

Firstly a eunuch will be 99% safe to have around children, disabled or anyone who may be vounerable to sexual assault.

On these boards, there seems to be a trend that after castration a sort of paternal (maternal?) instinct grows in strength like that of a woman. And there have been reports that children respond better to eunuchs than to intact males. I've witnessed this myself first hand (but didn't believe it until the first time it happened). Children are biologically programmed to want the mother (or non-father figure) as primary caregiver. And after castration, the body naturally femenizes.

So - at least physically - (possibly emotionally?) - eunuchs would probably make better caregivers for the groups mentioned. (see post in other thread (http://www.eunuch.org/vbulletin/showpos ... ostcount=3) for more specific job suggestions.

Maybe this explains why - in the past we have naturally gravitated towards harems, palaces, and (in the case of the Hijra) - childrens births and so on.

Well - - that's my twopennith worth anyway. Anyone willing to try this idea?

You never know, someone might need a good harem worker.
