re: #20 goddamnedfrank

She was fired for being an attractive woman. This still constitutes gender discrimination in as much as personal comeliness would not have been an issue in this instance for any male employee.

I hadn’t thought of it that way. Yeah, it is gender discrimination; if she was male, she wouldn’t have been fired. That there are other things that could have made her not fired— like being unattractive— doesn’t matter. You can’t decide you’re going to fire all the women who have blue eyes but not fire the men who have blue eyes.
