I'm surprised anyone at the NY Times would print such a truism.
Look for more ridiculousness from the left. This new TV show will become the darling of the media as they try to prove for Hillary's sake that a woman should be president.
You must have missed the relevant 9th Circus Court of Appeals' ruling in September, as reported on FR from a legal newsletter now cached here? The NYT isn't going soft...it's all part of the Master Plan...
Screaming and yelling by men at work may now be sex-based discrimination if women at work find the behavior more intimidating than men do.Only way the Left can admit the truth is if they can create a new class of victimhood.
On September 2, 2005, in E.E.O.C. v. National Education Association, (No. 04-35029), the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the “reasonable woman” standard applies to workplace abusive conduct, even if there is no sexual content to the behavior.
Three women working for a labor union, the National Education Association, sued for gender discrimination claiming that the NEA created a sex-based hostile work environment for them through the conduct of an interim assistant executive director who frequently “screamed” at female employees in a loud and profane manner, with little or no provocation, shook his fists at them, stood behind an employee as she worked, and lunged across the table at another.
The conduct was not sexual, nor was it marked by sexual language, gender-specific words, sexual stereotypes, or sexual overtures.
While there was evidence that the same director raised his voice with men on occasion, and once frightened a male subordinate, male employees seemed to deal with that abuse with banter, and did not express the same fear of the director, did not cry, become panicked or feel physically threatened, avoid contact with the director, call the police, or ultimately resign, as did one woman.
