I probably had but then I had sex with the people and everything seemed fine. Just kidding, for you who aren’t sure. No I have not.

I took his hand off my left breast, quit, and called my mother in tears. Never again and it never happened again. I guess that was harassment which is a close cousin of discrimination.

I have had it happen in reverse, a woman human resource administrator hired her boyfriend for a position and never opened the position for women to apply. I filed an EEO complaint and won.

It’s men who are discriminated against! Told my son when he got admitted to a top law school he must be a real legal talent to get by the enhanced admissions quotas for women and minorities.

Hello Bitter (a/k/a Dr. Mark Klein) - have you looked at discrepancies between male salary earners and women lately?

I really think it is best just to ignore this man. Then maybe he will fade away.

I agree CJ. Apparently not!! Please look at the history of women in the work force in past generations and what we have gone through!!

Yes. I experience sexual discrimination daily by reading Dr. Klein’s comments. :)

Hi Dr. Klein, Would you answer this question for me? It appears that your remarks are often purposefully inflammatory. Are you using this forum for some sort of socialogical observation?

Kitty- Freepers are often on the payroll of the far-right groups like the Heritage Foundation etc to ‘flame’ sites that can have cultural influence…..He fits that profile in some respects. In any event he is a very bitter man. There is a distinction between IDEAS and IDEOLOGY that he hasn’t yet made. Thanks for your question.

PPPPSHAW! Mark, maybe you should go home, sit in a dark room meditating on whatever it is that’s bugging you. Find out what the bug is, you might be a lot happier.
