The co-CEO of Archie Comics is being sued for gender discrimination after she allegedly stalked her male colleagues and referred to them as "penis" rather than using their actual names.
But Nancy Silberkleit's lawyer says the lawsuit is bogus because white men aren't members of a "protected class," reports the New York Daily News.
The $3.25-million lawsuit by five Archie employees alleges Silberkleit used her "gender as a weapon" by yelling "Penis! Penis! Penis!" during a meeting.
What's more, the plaintiffs allege she used the term for their names regularly, brought Hells Angels to the office to intimidate them, repeatedly made reference to her late husband's handgun and 750 rounds of ammo supposedly kept in the office and stalked employees and their families.
Silberkleit has denied the allegations, calling them "cruel and mean and inaccurate."
The 59-year-old took over the role of co-CEO after her husband's death in 2008.

Ditto to both.
Now the for the choice: Jeannie or Samantha?
Jeannie has the advantage of being far hotter than Samantha.
Whereas Samantha
has the advantage of being at least unlikely to dangle you over a pool of sharks when she's jealous.
Whoops....
Do kids even read Archie anymore? I loved them growing up.
Certainly not in the number they used to, but that's true of all comics.
When my daughter was younger I picked her up one of the digests, it was, like, $8. I was, like, seriously???WTH? And that was before Soteros inflationary regime. Now they are probably twice that
The current price of an Archie Double Digest is $3.99. Perhaps you bought her one of the larger trade paperback collections.
and filled with harmful propaganda. No thanks. I'd stick with, I dunno, Japanese anime or something.
While there's plenty of good manga out there ("anime" is Japanese animation) and much of it is suitable for children, be careful...there's a lot of manga that's only appropriate for older readers.
“By yelling ‘Penis! Penis! Penis!’ During a meeting”
Ohhhhh........a team building meeting.
Yeah, maybe. It was an impulse buy before a long road trip.
It's just sad to see every corner of society used as a propaganda pushing tool. From sports to comic books--
“By yelling ‘Penis! Penis! Penis!’ during a meeting”.
Barney Frank did the same thing at every meeting and look at how many times he got re-elected. You can’t have a meeting in Massachusetts without having five or six people jump up and yell “Penis! Penis! Penis”. That’s how they start all their meetings at Harvard.
Funny!
Jeannie. I used to dream of Jeannie.
That explains the Archie Comics previously inexplicable shift to openly gay characters and storylines earlier this year.
I'll take Jeannie as well. Even if she was a bit, well...insane at times (but in a really hot way!).
WTF?
Is her lawyer insane? He thinks that the laws don't apply to white males? Did I miss a memo or something?
WTH did i just read?
Jeannie was pretty needy. (:
Women good, men bad.
Women never do nothing wrong.
>>> Lol - I see what you did there.
yeah... well, it’s been my observation that people just cannot seem to help but vocalize the source of their own guilt and/or the deepest desires of their hearts.
If they did that now, they would be open to sexual harassment allegations. They're doing the right thing.
We are in a post-male society.
Why? Because these men have chosen to stand up for their rights, rather than let her walk all over them?
So, if Donald Trump or, better yet, the Koch brothers started referring to their female employees as vaginas, the media would still treat it as a big joke?
Congratulations, you’ve passed Women-101. Forget about the rest it’ll just frustrate you.
