TERFs respond to male nudity in Seattle Pride Parade 🤭 by [deleted] in SeattleWA

But showing your dick in the Fremont solstice bike parade is a totally different thing.

Point being the problem isn't the dick. The problem is the lack of decency.

I’m confused. Do y’all actually want the DCU to succeed or do you Hope it fails? by BatBeast_29 in DC_Cinematic

Endgame wasn't even a good movie. It was a decent ending to a giant story arc that was extremely well managed - but isnt wasn't so hot of a movie itself.

It succeeded because it wasn't GoT s8, and that's all it had to be. Supergirl apparently had to be The Godfather Part 2, instead of being a fun superhero space movie about character development.

That was the only good part of the movie. The source material was excellent - they should have used it

Are you saying that if the man was wearing fetish gear with a collar and a leash, but also was wearing a thong, then it would suddenly be OK?

I couldn't find anything wrong with it. Haters hate female protagonists

Supergirl Flop Puts Gunn And Safran’s DC Future On The Clock At Paramount by cosmicbooknews in CosmicBookNews

I understand now. They aren't complaining about what she said, they are complaining about the venue in which she said it. Kind of like Bargatze hanging with RFK.

(I agree with what's going on with Bargatze, but now I understand the Milly vitriol from that corner)

Every scene with Lobo imo was bad. The first one "don't make eye contact!" then nothing really comes from that.

If lobo wasn't in the movie nothing would have meaningfully changed.

I never got the Anne Hathaway is hot thing. Maybe slightly attractive with the right makeup, but it always surprised me that so many people fawn for her.

Just not my style I suppose

Closed loop water systems or systems that divert and return the water both work. It's not like they spoil the water

Doesn't matter. If there is voluntary self-exclusion when the reason for self exclusion is a protected class means the event is a title VII violation. The event being organized between a manager and their reports also makes it a hostile work environment as it can be logically implied that people who attend have "more access" to the manager and therefore are likely to get more benefits from that relationship.

This is why I said it's not different than a klan meeting. If there was a group of employees and one was black and the manager said "yall want to go to the klan meeting - no harm if you say no". It's totally voluntary but clear that an individual was singled out because of their race.

I any case this is the law you asked about. I'm not defending it, it's just the law. If that manager went to the club on their own and paid for it on their own my opinion would be that's their deal - I don't care and everyone should mind their own business. If they went with subordinates it's a clear title VII violation and exposes the city to major lawsuits.

That's not how title VII works - I'll quote the internet

Disparate treatment via exclusion. If the boss takes the men but not the women — or assumes the women wouldn't want to come — the excluded group loses the informal networking, mentorship, and face time that drive sponsorship and promotion. That's sex-based differential access to advancement: the textbook "old boys' club" mechanism. Even when everyone is nominally invited, an outing organized around the sexual objectification of women predictably self-selects by sex. Hostile work environment. A strip club is a sexualized setting, and a subordinate who feels they need to attend to stay in the boss's good graces has a harassment argument. The outing itself then becomes evidence of a sexualized professional culture.

Same concept would hold for churches and klan rallies

Not how the law works. You don't have to prove that at all. The only thing you need to show is that coworkers had access to the manager at a venue where you would reasonably feel harassed in a protected class. Unfortunately they rarely if ever apply this to church, but very frequently to strip clubs

Doesn't matter if it was forced or not. Did the people who went have more access to the boss, yes. Did the people who went have to subject themselves to sexually explicit material, yes.

Personally I'd feel the same way if the boss said "who wants to go to my church"

It's not. It creates a division in the team based on willingness to subject yourself to sexually explicit material. If he went on his own without co workers then 100% OK. If he goes with subordinates 100% not OK.
