WHAT??

Sometimes PC gets REALLY hard to follow:

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY CRUELTY

Mary Quinones (nicknamed "Military Mary"), a supervisor at National Revenue Corp. in Columbus, Ohio, who touched and sexually propositioned a gay male employee, did not violate Title VII. The conduct, wrote the court "while unpleasant and perhaps cruel," was neither severe nor pervasive enough to constitute sexual harassment. Since Quinones screamed at and threatened all subordinates, "her conduct was merely even-handedly offensive."

HEMORRHOIDS ARE NOT A DISABILITY

Charlotte Davis, a store manager for BellSouth Mobility, failed to convince a federal judge in Alabama that her acute hemorrhoid condition constituted a protected disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act. "To characterize such a common malady as hemorrhoids, even severe hemorrhoids, as a disability would thwart the purposes of the ADA." Thank heavens the court didn't sit too long on that one.
