Tesla Factory Reportedly Described As a 'Predator Zone' By Female Employees (theverge.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: Tesla's Fremont factory was described by a female employee as a "predator zone" of harassment in a meeting attended by dozens of employees, according to a bombshell report in The Guardian. Other women recalled being catcalled by male employees, feeling unsafe around male managers, and being subjected to sexist comments by their superiors, the report states. For months, The Guardian has been tracking the case of AJ Vandermeyden, a former Tesla engineer who sued the electric automaker for "unwanted and pervasive harassment." In her suit, Vandermeyden alleges that she and other female employees were denied promotions, paid less than their male peers, and retaliated against after making their concerns known to human resources. Several months after making her claims publicly, Vandermeyden was fired by Tesla.
"Several months after making her claims publicly, Vandermeyden was fired by Tesla." ... concluded her complaints were unmerited.
Oh the evil misogynist corporation trying to silence the victim?
No
She was fired because 'a neutral, third-party expert'
Sigh. I hate it when I have to do this.
I celebrate the contribution women made to the war effort, but it is a downright lie to say they "by and large ran the massive industrial development necessary during WWII when the US was putting out a ship a day."
Women, at their peak, during the war, comprised 37% of the workforce. Which is awesome- and a *massive* increase from before the war. And they did it for less money. But don't rewrite history to make it prettier than it was.
If you are criminally harassed, record and call the cops.
Since it's a civil case, not a criminal one, I'm sure you meant "lawyers" instead of "cops".
So yeah, that's what's happening, but you seem cross about it.
SJW n. One who posts facts.
I'm happy for you. But I simply pointed out that the OP is wrong: conservatives and progressives have no interest in denying cases where progressives harass or abuse women.
If you do want to talk about implications, it's clear that progressive policies are ineffective in eliminating the harassment of women, contrary to their stated objectives; we can reach that conclusion regardless of what conservatives or libertarians do.
Saying "conservatives do it just as much" is just an irrelevant tu quoque fallacy (in addition to probably being factually false).
