How it is socialy acceptable for women to want to mutilate men, but it is horrible if a man says anything that might be even remotely promoting violance against women.
Take Rabbits for Sale’s first comment. It socially acceptable to say something about harming a man in the neather regions, but a guy would be in DEEP if he said something similar if a woman laid a man off, just because he is a man.
So, before you make a comment like “cna only hope that her consultant->boss has a testicle-ectomy.” think about it if the situation was reversed.
(And I will bet no one will respond to this. People prefer to pretend this doesn’t exisit)
The mispelling is not even worth mentioning. It happens to all of us, and it’s really a non-issue. Your statement was understood and that is all that matters.
But I just wish people would think before they make judgments first. Reverse the situation and see if you would still be for the victim, or are you just for the victim just because they are part of a certain group (Race/gender/political/religous etc).
first of all, we only know the first story… we are not totally convinced! first of all, whether she had it or not, she was doing preventative, FMLA – was it covered there? maybe they thought after her return, she was not dependable – but if we read the article, she was a hard worker!! so what was the true reasoning behind the firing? i don’t think it was just a matter of a medical procedure. she may now be out of a job for other reasons and can’t find a job, so instead is suing for money (afterall, unemployment is still rising). without knowing the company she worked for, we won’t find out til the trial. she may have a leg to stand on, or not. no pun intended… can’t say its wrong or right w/o the correct information.
With the passage of GINA, coupled with the continued expansion of Genome studies, this is going to become an ever increasingly explosive subject to deal with. Just because she has BRAC 2, does not mean she will get breast cancer. For the employer to take the action they did means that anyone who has a gene that is associated with a possible disease will be subject to discharge….

I thought the double mas would eliminate her chances of getting cancer?

You were wrong, Nerdly. Some one DID respond. So there!
And the only comment I will make is that I should use Spell Check more often. Sorry to trample a good carrier with an inane post.

“Booby trapped” comment, not funny. Only those of us who have actually had mastectomies get to joke about them.
