Some of the roles advertised included electricians,
plumbers, mechanics, construction workers, factory workers, and welders.

Several of the tongue-in-cheek ads were paired with videos.

“We have vacancies for women looking to offload trucks.
Working hours are 7am to 6pm, Mondays to Saturdays. Wages are 15k daily
(without meals and transport),” one of the replies reads.

In the accompanying clip, a man piles nine heavy bags of an
unknown content from a truck onto another man’s shoulders as he struggles to
keep his balance and staggers away.

The words “real, hard work” are emblazoned in red across the
video.

Another footage shows a man hauling over 10 strips of wood
from storage to a carpentry shed, moving quickly but clearly strained by the
weight.

“Even this job?” the X user posted alongside the video.

The UN’s post sparked criticism as many social media users
accused the multilateral organisation of making the assertion only when the
jobs are about “prestige, office roles, or boardroom seats” but “go silent when
it’s about fixing roads, unclogging drains, working in mines, or fighting
wars”.

“Equality isn’t selective. You can’t demand inclusion where
it’s convenient and retreat to gender roles when it’s not. True equality
carries both privilege and burden; not just the parts that feel good,” an X
user said.
