Why do we...

I was wrong, the term is "reasonable woman" and the explanation goes like this:

Quote
The reasonableness is evaluated by a standard that is the same as a person in the victim's circumstances. For example, what a reasonable woman might think is a hostile environment is not necessarily the same as what a man might think is a hostile environment. If it's a woman who was harassed, it's the woman's point of view that counts.

Nice interpretation of the law. However the law has a fundamental flaw. In order for it to be defendable, one must first find a "Reasonable Woman"

:p


Oh really Rip? Please, name one private organization which DOESN'T ACCEPT GOVERNMENT BENEFIT who has been "forced" to admit members of color OR gender. Certainly not Augusta, site of the US Open. In fact the President of the Augusta National Golf Course, Hootie whatever-his-name-is, recently issued a statement reaffirming the rights of a private club to restrict membership based upon whatever criteria they wish, which is as it should be. I think you mean organizations which are public rather than private must follow the anti-discrimination laws currently in effect in America today. I'm sorry you feel this is so unfair.

Isn't the term Adult Language seen at the start of an R-rated movie an oxymoron?


Puzzled, Shuckins:confused:
