Female CEO claims she can't be liable for sexually harassing employees because they are WHITE MEN
UK Daily Mail ^ | December 2, 2013 | Mark Duell and Daily Mail Reporter

The female CEO of Archie Comics, who has been accused of sexual harassment by five employees says she can't be guilty of the accusations - because her employees are all white men.

Nancy Silberkeit argues in legal filings that the employees who are suing aren't from a 'protected class' of people - and therefore their claims of harassment aren't legally viable.

Silberkeit is accused of repeatedly shouting 'Penis!' at the employees and also referring to them as the male organ instead of their names.

Just wait until the Dems have a lib female nominee for president. This will be tame by comparison.

This is just a woman (old at that) who has gone through the change, but the crazy unfortunately stayed with her after the fact. Either that or she’s dropped too, too many tabs.

The burning question is whether Laz would hit it.

I’ve had colleagues and bosses who would speak like that.

Just give the same right back to them the moment they do it. They will either laugh or stop doing it. Either way, you’ve won.

I will testify that as a youngster 40 years ago, I found the huge bazooms on Betty and Veronica were plenty provocative.

once plotted to make Betty and Veronica - the love interests of the comic book’s main character Archie Andrews - more provocative,

Nancy Silberkeit . . . is accused of repeatedly shouting 'Penis!' at the employees and also referring to them as the male organ instead of their names. . . . She has been locked in a long-running legal battle over control of the company ever since - with employees accusing her of being mentally unstable and running the comic company into the ground.

Yes, "Virginia," there is a Sanity Clause!

Thusly the harassment charges.

I had heard that Archie comics had gone downhill. Now I understand why.

Ever heard the expression, “She has Coyote Looks?” It’s a gal so ugly that if you pick her up at a bar late at night, then wake up next to her, you chew your arm off rather than risk waking her up.

This explains her fixation on male genitalia - the incident is seared into her memory.

I’m more surprised people still read Archie comic books.
