Sexism in Delano ?

So I was laying in bed last night and I was running a list in my head of places where I could apply for employment. I can't do hard larbor, my body is not made for it, so it would have to be something else. Then I thought it would be great if I could earn tips. HMM ! Then it dawned on me... There is only one restaurant that comes to mind where MEN are actually hired as servers, Denny's. Every other restaurant in Delano only hires Women as servers/ waitresses. See the problem?
So again I ran a list in my head started to notice that every restaurant I've ever been too in Delano only has women servers. Perko's Diner, I've never seen a male server. Mi Nayarit, only has women servers and cooks. LR's Pizza only has women as bartenders. The Elks Lodge only has women as bartenders. Carmen's Mexican food, only women servers. Jenny's Cafe, only women servers. Can you see where I'm going with this. Where is a man like me suppose to get a job that earns tips, in Delano. Do I have to have a vagina for that, is that on the application as a pre-requisite, or maybe it's listed under the "Equal Opportunity Act". So I ask again do you believe there is Sexism in Delano. Yes! I do ! Unless I want to work at a fast food restaurant, or out in sun as a city employee, a field worker, or a warehouse employee. Where are my options ? Why are men not being employed for these positions just as women are, it's not because of looks. Tips are left based on service, if a customer is satisfied with your service then you get a tip. I know both male and female servers in restaurants in Visalia, California and the men make more than the women. So it's not looks. In my opinion it's the employer who prefers to hire women as servers because it is more visually appealing to them than a man.
Fact : A local restaurant owner was asked while in my presence, " Do you only hire women?" his response "Yes!" 
Sexist much ?
