Lol, total bullshit. That's not sexism, that's wanting to watch the best athletes.
I'll tell you what, let's end this travesty of injustice. Combine all sports, unisex. You play sports based solely on your ability, mixed-sex.
This should solve the (lol) "sexism" problem, right? No?
You're joking, but the whole "pay gap" thing is a hilarious joke. If you're willing to work for less, I'm going to pay you less. It's simple. And just because someone else negotiates a raise doesn't mean I'm going to give you the same raise so you have "pay equity".
You are paid based on your value and your negotiating skills, the whole "equal pay" thing is yet another sign that we are going insane as a nation.
Oh bullshit. Good luck running a company that does shit like that. Furthermore, tough shit - freedom has a lot of consequences, and unless it causes grave harm to society you have no justification for restricting said freedoms.
This lot gives Obama a pass because they think he was just saying that for political reasons.
I mean come on, lighten up. He's just a lying liar, not anti gay!
It's less about Eich and more about the fundamental rights of association that are being eroded in this country.
Employment is an association. I don't know how it gets more fundamental a human right than "I don't fucking like you, so I'm not going to give you my money to work for me." But somehow this has changed in America and a "job" is some thing the government controls, and you are just a steward of. Don't like felons? Tough shit - some areas now won't let you ask about it. Don't like gays? Too bad, hire him or else. Racist? Well, sorry - hire that other-race woman or else.
It's all bullshit, needless bullshit. Eich was a liability to Mozilla, period. It's not fair, he wasn't out proselytizing or burning crosses - sure. But he was a liability and Mozilla did not want to continue to employ him in that role. That should be their choice.
You can get blacklisted in this country for making a slightly off-color joke, or for "appropriating" a dance from another "culture". And yet we feel we need the government to step in and manage all employment in this country to an increasing degree.
Lol, that's actually a good point though I think Obama was as much of a tool as Eich. Obama got a pass because he's on "their side", though.
Lol, you mean if people were free to choose to hire and associate with whomever they wish we would end up with a "bad society"? Lolwut?
Yes, we would end up in a good society - a free one. If people are assholes it's generally not conducive to business, and frankly it doesn't matter in the end anyway, it's a zero sum game.
Yes, I thought it through and it's the only tenable option. That and social pressure. Laws forcing you to retain douchebags like this guy are insane, completely irrational.
If a company starts firing people for e.g. supporting union organizations, good luck finding employees and good luck with the media shitstorm that goes your way.
Silly laws like California's could have put Mozilla in an impossible position.
Anything free is worth what you pay for it.
