“A dentist acted legally when he fired an assistant that he found attractive simply because he and his wife viewed the woman as a threat to their marriage, the all-male Iowa Supreme Court ruled Friday. The court ruled 7-0 that bosses can fire employees they see as an “irresistible attraction,” even if the employees have not engaged in flirtatious behavior or otherwise done anything wrong. Such firings may be unfair, but they are not unlawful discrimination under the Iowa Civil Rights Act because they are motivated by feelings and emotions, not gender, Justice Edward Mansfield wrote.”— Iowa court: Bosses can fire ‘irresistible’ workers (via brooklynmutt)
This language…”irresistible attraction”? The article makes it abundantly clear that she never reciprocated in any manner, so what was he going to do, rape her?
Jesus Christ.
If you are that base in your instincts that you are literally and truly unable to control yourself and you must transfer the burden of your sexual conduct onto another person, you should just be put down like a dangerous animal. Because that is what you are telling me you are.

and if you think this isn’t really about gender, you’re literally deluding yourself
