Also - like, "The right to send your employees sexually harassing texts, then fire them."

Seriously, fuck that.

Self control is only for people who don't have power over others.

They know they can't just fire women nowadays, so this is what they resort to. Absolutely disgusting. Also, don't read the comments on the article if you don't want to raise your blood pressure.

I was hoping there was another mix-up with some Onion article. Then, I found other sources saying the same thing.

I posted a CNN article about this on my Facebook.com page and a friend said something along the lines of "Sexism is not at play, here. They would have done the same had a man been fired." Other than "No, they wouldn't have; you're just being an idiot!" how can I respond?

"Bull fucking shit they would have"

That's pretty much all you need to say in an informal situation where someone is wrong about a thing. Say "that's not true stupid" and move on
