There was a few stories in the paper today about discrimintion against women.

First off, I find that the word discrimination being used as a pejorative is a sign of a sickness in American culture. Discrimination is a good thing. When I am driving at 55 mph and there is a tree in front of me and I don't discriminate between the gas pedal and the brake pedal. Gabriel = dead.

When I a making coffee I discriminate whether I should put bleach in my coffee or milk.  If I don't, Gabriel = dead.

Discrimination is a learning process. Babies can't discriminate because they don't know the difference between the gas and the brake and they don't know the consequenses for not discriminating.  They haven't learned.

Just as young children don't discriminate between warm water and steaming hot water. But they will as soon as they stick their hand in.

We have been taught that men and women are equal. What the hell does that mean? Men and women are not equal. I have a penis and two big balls. I don't have a vagina and breasts. The statement is beyond ridiculous, yet it is today's common knowledge. People are different, I am not the equal to you and you are not equal to me. There are tons of differences. My own family members are very different. So why is it so bad to discriminate between people who are different and have different characteristics.

This is the brainwashing that the feminists have been pursuing for the last 40 years.  Discrimination is a good things.


Gender bias: You'd be surprised



Although for some reason the title of the article is there, but the article it self is missing. It is a shame because that was the worst article. I put the link up in hopes that Newsday will get its act together and put the article up.

I'll type a quote from the print version I have in front of me:

Quote
But 40 years after Congress made sexual discrimination in the workplace a punishable offense, headlines still blare news of lawsuits or significant settlements, some of the involving major American corporations.
Morgan Stanley. Wal-Mart. Costco.


Hmm, maybe they are suing because there is money to be made. And the headlines are STILL blaring because the women are STILL suing. Not to mention that papers are sensationalistic, and feminist sympathizers, and sell papers stiring people up.  This part assumes that because there are headlines the cases are legit.

Quote
I've been amazed at the kinds of companies that have charges against them. Some of them are American icons," said Naomi Earp, vice chair-woman of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commision in Washington D.C.


This quote assumes that the charges are legit. It assumes that women would never  make false accusations of discrimination to get money.  

The discount 'glass ceiling'
Class action lawsuit against Wal-Mart raises gender discrimination issue on behalf of 1.6 million who've worked at the giant chain

Quote
"With a bachelor's degree and five years' experience in retail management, I figured, 'No problem, it's in the bag,'" said Lorenz, who holds a diploma in marketing and management from Jacksonville State University in Alabama and previously co-managed The Limited and Lady Foot Locker stores.

So she was surprised when the higher-paying position went to a male colleague who had less education and no managerial experience.


The media is so devious. They point out that she has a degree and 5 yrs experience and the guy who got the job had no degree and no managerial experience. The point being to make it look like he has less experience than she does, but the article does not say (funny) how much experience he has. He could have 10 years experience or he could just be a better leader than her. Degrees do not equal a better employee. Degrees = Degrees. Or Degrees = Someone thinks, after I paid them, that I have learned xyz.

Quote
But Lorenz's anger is accompanied by the feeling she's been betrayed by a company she had once trusted back in her hometown of Attalla, Ala.


There is your problem right there. You shouldn't "trust" them to do what is in your best  interest, they will do what is in their best interest. The way to win is to align their best interest with yours by actually being the best employee and proving you deserve a promotion.

What kills me is that Newsday gives advice on how to win a gender discrimination lawsuit:
Creating a paper trail

Maybe some guys here will take this advice and apply it to their situation because guys do get discriminated against too. Although that is not the direction I wish to go.
Quote
Winning a sexual harassment or discrimination case isn't just about what happened to you. It's also about how well you document it. While it's best to have a legal expert guiding you, here is some advice on creating that paper trail:

First, document in a folder, file or notebook to be kept at home -- separately from your private journal or diary. Such information can become part of legal proceedings and you don't want a passage in there on how you were having a fight with your mother, says Rebecca Dell'Aglio, director of Women's Rights at Work, a nonprofit in Manhattan that advises women in the metropolitan area.

Include as much detail as possible, specifically what was said, who said it and when. If you can't recall the exact date, don't guess. Give a sense of when it occurred, such as right before Thanksgiving, mentioning the weather that day, and what you and others were wearing and working on.

When filing a complaint to the boss, don't tiptoe around the issue by saying you're not being treated fairly or that your supervisor did not behave well. The law does not protect you against retaliation unless the boss is punishing you for complaining about something unlawful, such as sexual harassment or discrimination, says Rick Ostrove, an attorney with Leeds, Morelli & Brown, P.C. in Carle Place. He says he likes to see those terms and language in both the "regarding" section of the memo and the body. Come right out and say whatever it is that occurred, such as that men are being promoted ahead of you or that so-and-so said he wanted to sleep with you.

If you see an incriminating document at work that might help prove your case, don't take it, Dell'Aglio says. That's stealing company property. Instead, try to recall the contents in as much detail as possible and write it down as soon as you can, including where you saw the document and when.

It's fine, of course, to keep memos and e-mails sent to you or the staff as a whole. And distasteful as it may be, hang on to any unpleasant objects a co-worker gives you, such as sex toys or e-mails with links to pornographic sites.

If your job becomes unbearable and you have no recourse but to leave, do make it clear in writing that it's because of a hostile or untenable work environment, Dell'Aglio says. That makes it harder, she says, for a boss later to say, "See, she didn't really care about her job."



The article's messgae, sue some big company so you can look like this:


The woman who got a cool 12 million from Morgan Stanley, I'd be smiling too.

What gets me is that in the same paper there is this cover story:
Grieving dad: Child agency could have done more [\u] and they can't make the connection between one and the other and they were both major stories.

This discrimination thing has gotten completely out of hand, whenever a woman doesn't get promoted in favor of a man, then she is being discriminated !! This suggests that all the women always must be promoted ahead of men. 8--( By the way if i was an employer i would not hire a female employee in the modern climate, she will work less hard and she may demand a "maternity leave" and she is a lawsuit hazard, and she will probably destroy the atmosphere at the workplace with her constant petty intrigues and little mind games and sexual provocations.
It is very amazing that despite the fact that people see these stupid news every day they still believe that women are "oppressed" and "discriminated". Just look at this news item, it's obvious that this "discrimination" crap is just a way for women to push their way upwards on the career ladder without much effort or make some money with a nice lawsuit. What is wrong with people. :--<
o pity for feminazis.
