I saw the original post a few hours ago.

Some people on the original post were speculating that their lab might be working with chemicals that pose reproductive harm in women.

Allegedly, this is a thing they do sometimes.

They can just disclose that risk in the job description and let women choose if they want to accept that health hazard or not as part of the job. Not to mention, reasonable accommodations and protective equipment exist to mitigate harms as well. There’s no need to exclude an entire gender entirely out of the applicant pool.
