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.

Darling, wonderful Eve…do you believe in the tooth fairy too?! So glad you are here from our sane community/neighbors to the North….sorry for the last seven years…..

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.

Please … if that’s how you feel now, imagine how you would have felt as a woman in the workplace 30 years ago!

Gee Doc, who screwed you over?
