You assholes wrote that law and it should be repealed. It is a shame that white women don’t have the brains or balls of black people or they march down to city halls all over that fucked up state of Iowa and demand change in that law.

But alas white women are as dumb as a box of rocks for the most part so we females of that race with a desire to equality will never get it. We like the rest of America will have to wait until some OTW woman gets mad and galvanize the females in this country to do something about this truly sexist law.

State laws vary some, but the best legal counsel I ever got on the subject was—you can terminate employment for any reason or no reason as long as you give notice, or severance pay in lieu of notice, except for age, race, etc.

Most large employers spell out in policy some definition of both work performance and personal conduct requirements. and what constitutes cause for separation.

Some personal conduct—-fighting on he job, stealing, etc. are (or at least were ) universally recognized as cause for termination. Many people terminated for cause –performance or conduct— claim discrimination or challenge the evidence of cause. Sometimes they have a case and win. Sometimes they just provide employment for lawyers.

I sometimes wonder if those who think employees’ rights should be limitless believe employees have any responsibility to the employer. If an employer is obligated to keep every employee forever should the employee be obligated to continue in the job forever?

This is simply an outlier case where an employer handled a situation poorly, and then so did the employee. Did her give her notice or severance pay? The court ruling appears to follow the law, which is its proper role regardless of gender.

If the ruling offends your delicate sensibilities, change the law. But both employer and employee pay a price for the way they handled the situation. Who wants to hire the woman, or work for the man now?

Hope you are in good health. Best wishes.
