I set an interview for Monday. Candidate says he has kid stuff. I suggest Saturday night. He says Why don't you have a date? No job for him.

How much sexism can you condense into a few words? This candidate has raised the bar.
Don't you think that suggesting having an interview on a weekend is way too aggressive? I would expect my interviewers to be much more professional than that. The fact that the interviewer is so willing to work Saturday nights is not exactly a good thing. It would be a "no, thanks" for me, as a candidate.
The interviewer is also very quick to complain about some perceived gender issues but says "kid stuff," completely dismissing any reasonable issues the candidate may have had. I wouldn't want to have this person interviewing anyone in my company.
