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

Posted on 12/02/2013 7:23:17 AM PST by ConservativeStatement

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.

Since they now have a gay character, I’m not surprised a woman is the CEO of Archie Comic

I don’t think she understands what “protected class” means in a legal sense.

Had to look up “Rule 34.”

(from the Urban Dictionary)

Rule 34
Generally accepted internet rule that states that pornography or sexually related material exists for any conceivable subject.

Additionally it is accepted that the rule itself has limitations and you cannot be too specific on the content of the item in question.

The burning question is whether Laz would hit it.

Laz would certainly hit Betty and Veronica.

This chick? I dunno.

No, they came up with a whole new character. I ran across an article about it some time ago.

Their lawyers have a prime chance for fame and fortune. Simply ask how she made racial identification and what was her training for this task. This will take it all the way to USSC. I drub lefties all day using this technique, what are they going to do sound like racial ID experts?

Isn’t it convenient* how the left is able to set up the rules so that they can abuse people THEY don’t like while having their misconduct, malfeasance, and incompetence covered up by being “protected”?

*by convenient, I mean hypocritical.

Oh, I don’t know. A little paint, powder she might clean up real well.

Bu then at my age one can’t be picky. One might have to drop a blue pill an hour ahead of time. On second look, two might be needed along with a few slugs of whiskey.

NO way that could sexually harrass me.

A “woman” would have to be a 2 ton tillie and butt ugly before one could come close to sexually harass me.

I wonder if this is the reason why DC comics has circled the toilet to disaster.

This is not sexual harassment in that sense.

This is harassment based on hatred of the sex and race of the employee.

Hmmm... that sounds so ugly, doesn’t it?
This boss is abusing people because of their sex and race...

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

"Incident is seared into her memory..." you don't mean...?

No, can't be. I doubt she makes that much money.

Totally. I'm a Betty guy, myself, as well.

Also a "MaryAnn" guy. And, I'd take Bailey Quarters over Jennifer Marlowe every day of the week.

These days, the guys could get canned for “tossing it back” to her.

No broad could ever say anything to me that i would consider sexually harassing or flat harassing.

Whatever it was i probably deserved it!

As a boss I see no reason she should be nice or polite, just demanding!

Comply, quit, or be fired!!!
