Why should ANY Corporation Hire Women?

In light of this recent case:

Jury believes claims, orders organization to pay $11.6 million
Associated Press


NEW YORK -- In an end to a salacious three-week trial, a jury ordered the owners of the New York Knicks to pay $11.6 million to a former team executive who endured crude insults and unwanted advances from coach Isiah Thomas.

The jury of four women and three men found Thomas and Madison Square Garden sexually harassed Anucha Browne Sanders, but it decided only MSG and chairman James Dolan should pay for harassing and firing Browne Sanders from her $260,000-a-year job out of spite.

The result: The Garden owes $6 million for condoning a hostile work environment and $2.6 million for retaliation. Dolan owes $3 million. Though Thomas is off the hook for any damages, he leaves the case with a tarnished image.

Outside court, a beaming Browne Sanders insisted her victory was more about sending a message than the money.

"What I did here, I did for every working woman in America," she said. "And that includes everyone who gets up and goes to work in the morning, everyone working in a corporate environment."


This is absolute horseshit. She didn't do this for every women in america...she did it for her own bank account and the account of her ambulance-chasing shysters.

The worst of it is, even if Isaiah Thomas did in fact "harass" her, how in holy hell is that worth millions of dollars? So a woman's "feelings" are worth multi-millions now? And why does MSG have to pay for the actions of Thomas?

So if a McDonald's Manager tells his cashier that she has nice tits, she can now turn around and sue McDonald's Corporation for millions of dollars?

Why should ANY corporation hire ANY woman in America, when they can be sued into bankruptcy simply because an employee might possibly "harass" a co-worker by hitting on her or making a rude comment to her?

Freedom of speech doesn't exist for Men, only for women.

Revolution? Revolution anyone?

You're absolutely right here, HL; greed is the motivating factor here---women like this have become too sensitive (i.e., looking for a way to rationalize their avarice and vindictiveness with offense). Even if Thomas hounded her, she probably should be grateful anyone gave her any attention at all.

Why?

I know a woman, right now, who is the type that would file sexual harassment charges against a man and yet will show cleavage and talk about "pearl necklaces" with her female friends when she thinks others aren't listening in to her trash talk. Then she wonders why men avoid her like the plague--they see her mixed cues she's giving off, and the men are thinking they may be the next target on her list of undesirables with their job on the line.

If I was business owner and knew that a woman had a history of bogus sexual harassment claims, I don't care how qualified she was, her resume would collect dust in a rejected bin in my main office.

And if word got out you would be sued for not hiring those females, and you would lose. Women can randomly sue companies they've never been involved in and win.

We need to change this.

This is the reason American business is outsourcing everything possible.

So while this selfish bitch got her pay-day, company executives got one more reason to stop hiring Americans.

Companies are so worried about this kind of crap that they won't even hire employee's anymore, they just contract the work out, to avoid Mat leave and all the other stupid, unreasonable bullshit the femmies brought in.

Perhaps more to the point, why would you hire men? They may have lots of advantages, but one big downside is that whatever they're charged with, if it's a woman accuser and the subject is sex, you'll pay-pay-pay - even if the guy is innocent, you'll still have to pay to defend yourself.

Sexual harassment laws are making men serious financial risks.

But moving on, even if an employer adopted an all women employee policy, it wouldn't be long before new complaints started rolling in and new million dollar awards were ordered for some other currently unheard of grievance.

The courts have become the new re-distributors of wealth.

I'd sell up now and get the hell out of business while your stock's still worth something.

Better yet, get rid of everything you own and learn to be content with nothing. The way things are going, it could be a vital survival skill.

If that were the case, you would think that something along the lines of an apology would have sufficed.
