    Dam Al calm down, leave them with some dignity. Women work just as hard as men. In fact many of them work harder than men just to keep up, because they may not be qualified for the position they are in.

    I think a lot of women dont realise the way things got this way is because salaries are traditionally based on the fact that a man has to support enough for the whole household with the wife staying home to take care of the kids.

    Yes, we used to have a free country. Then came the 19th Amendment and we are becoming more and more socialistic and told we can’t smoke, we can’t eat trans fats, we have to let everyone play blah blah blah.

    If women don’t like it here, they should go back where they came from.

    Right or wrong, does this merit $500M? I’m not up on this ‘class-action’ stuff, but if she just sued for, let’s say, $5 or even $10M, I think she’s get a better chance to win! Personally, if she can’t get by on $380K + benefits, I agree, it rhymes with ‘rich’.

    Al- what the heck does ‘If women don’t like it here, they should go back where they came from.’ even mean?
    I’ll bet you miss the 50’s when women were ‘barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen’ catering to your every whim. Well, times change and apparently your attitude needs to follow suit.

    It means… a joke.

    I did prefer the fifties, when I was taken care of by a barefoot woman in the kitchen – my mom.

    It was a joke, but there are some serious knuckle draggers posting today. Any guy out there who thinks there is no glass ceiling is not really paying attention. I think some of the women in the workplace issues are inflated by attorneys, but that’s not one of them.

    I did’t say there was no glass ceiling, if by that you mean women not being able to claw their way to the top. I’m saying, So what? Start your own business (like men have done for thousands of years, and women have copied of late) and hire only women if it suits you.

    “Mommy, tell the boys to let me play!!!”

    Also, why was she getting demoted? Too much time off for personal reasons? Not being able to do the job? Is it possible she wasn’t up to the task? I say she really has a pair; to moan about making 380k a year plus bonuses. Her husband must wear the skirt in the family.

    Actually Al, women are doing this. Statistics show many more women starting their own business. Hopefully they are hiring the best possible people for the job regardless of being male or female. I agree women can do it own their own, it’s just a shame they need to. It’s not bad everywhere-go find a place that you can work hard and it will pay off for you.

    I wasn’t referring to you specifically Al, but anyone who denies the existence of a glass ceiling is a little slow. I am a man and not a liberal by any stretch of the imagination. This situation may or may not merit the action and I don’t know enough to comment on it specifically.
