9th circuit blunder
Quote:
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A female bartender who refused to wear makeup at a Reno, Nevada, casino was not unfairly dismissed from her job, a U.S. federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday.
Darlene Jespersen, who had worked for nearly 20 years at a Harrah's Entertainment Inc casino bar in Reno, Nevada, objected to the company's revised policy that required female bartenders, but not men, to wear makeup.
A previously much-praised employee, Jespersen was fired in 2000 after the firm instituted a "Beverage Department Image Transformation" program and she sued, alleging sex discrimination.
The Lambda Legal Defense Fund, a gay rights group that backed Jespersen's suit, had argued that forcing female employees to have different standards than men was unlawful under rules, known as Title VII, against discrimination on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
The ruling found, however, that the casino's appearance standards were no more burdensome for women than for men.
In a dissenting opinion, Judge Sidney Thomas backed the reasoning of the plaintiff. "Harrah's fired Jespersen because of her failure to confirm to sex stereotypes, which is discrimination based on sex and is therefore impermissible under Title VII," he wrote.
I wonder if the other arguments were made in the briefs submitted to the court.
WHY don't women wear make-up? Because intelligent, health conscious women know cosmetics are POISON - red dye and other chemicals, laden with bacteria. They age the skin prematurely and look truly hideous on aging women.
And they are tested on animals who are tortured brutally in the "beauty" industry. Rabbits blinded and poisoned, skin ulcerated and worse.
Beyond that, cosmetics make women look like whores or clowns because their purpose is to create gender differences where none exist. The casinos want the whore image so they can sell their booze to the type of man who likes women smeared with paint so their humanity is obscured. That way it is easier to turn her into a masturbatory fantasy.
Without makeup and different hair styles, faces are often gender neutral. This scares those who need to find gender differences in order to maintain their world view. And their erection.
This woman hating decision has to be appealed to the Supremes to expose institutionalized misogyny if for no other reason.
