So, consider the following quote from http://www.boston.com/news/local/maine/articles/2004/12/27/settlement_reached_in_strip_search_lawsuit_against_york_county_jail/
The agreement stipulates that women members of the suit will get double the payout as men because previous jury verdicts have generally given higher awards to women because of the perception that strip searches are more intrusive and humiliating for them than for men. The plaintiff's attorneys are seeking 30 percent of the settlement fund, or $990,000. I was wondering what folks thoughts are on the fairness of this. I find this especially interesting in light of the earlier issue this week with the professor who basically said women were not going as far in science because of genetics. This seems to be a bit two faced. It is wrong to say women do not have the same potential for science (and I certainly agree with that), but it is ok to say that a strip search hurts women more than men and therefore they need more money? Or am I crazy? ;) I'm defintely curious to see if anyone supports this, and why. -- ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, Director of Development for Mindseye, Inc (www.mindseye.com) Member of Team Macromedia (http://www.macromedia.com/go/teammacromedia) Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog : ray.camdenfamily.com Yahoo IM : cfjedimaster "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get help!
