You are right. There will be some instances where the courts will need to step in. Once that happens, then there will be a need to ensure that there are no negative consequences for women, which probably means more litigation. Eventually it will come to a point where if you are a woman it will be harder for you to get a job because all the hiring manager can think of is if and when their company will be sued for something. Of course, if the company is doing the right thing, they should have no worries. There is a lot of work that needs to be done to ensure equality for not only women, but minorities as well. Hopefully we will see this in our lifetime. I would love to know that by the time my daughter is done with school and is in the workforce, she is treated equally. But since she is almost 18 I doubt it.
I wonder though, once the current generation of corporate big wigs are retired and a new generation of managers and higher ups are in charge, will they be willing to shed the ways of old and embrace equality for everyone. I guess time will tell. Bruce Dana wrote: > yeah let's show those women their place.
