but, but if my man ever saw an ultrasound of my ugly, misshapen uterus, he might leave me for a more "golden" woman!

no ... it's not better ... it's like saying that all the black employees should work in some african-themed section of the park, and all asian employees in asian-themed sections of the park

you, and boudlal's employers, need to read title vii of the civil rights act, asap ... because, after doing so, only an "idiot" wouldn't understand that companies can dictate dress codes, but those dress codes must accommodate religious practices

but my canuck relatives say that their costo doesn't have the same selections as we have here, noting in particular the lack of organic produce

does this mean that, in addition to bush-grooming, vulva bleaching and vagina tightening, we'll now by pressured to undergo "golden ratio" reshaping for our uteri?

dyed hair and jewelry, unless they are a religious practice, are not protected by title vii ... the hijab, however, is ... and if disney can accommodate employees having modern (if not neon pink) hairstyles while working in a "period" restaurant, they not only should but must accommodate the hijab, without singling…

no, they didn't ... "reasonably", under the law, means rationally and with a purpose and without denigration or discrimination

omg ... i am a 12-yrs-and-going-strong vegetarian and all i can think is: "where can i find this?!"

the point isn't that boudlal "can work elsewhere" anyway ... that argument works for matters of unprotected tastes, such as wanting to wear an electric blue mohawk to work at disney ... but title vii of the civil rights act requires employers to accommodate employees' religious practices, such as the wearing of hijabs

the 1st amendment protects ms. boudlal from discrimination by her government ... title vii of the civil rights act, however, does require her employer to accommodate her religious practices ... so, yeah, she's protected

"conservatively styled" hair and "period hair" are not the same thing ... clearly, boudlal's hijab is conservative, even demure, and it's only radical to the crowd who equates islam with terrorism ... yes, that crowd probably hits disneyland pretty hard, but employers are not permitted to treat its employees according…

exactly the point! boudlal's coworkers were permitted to sport non-period hair styles, jewelry and tattoos, but only boudlal was singled out as "spoiling" diners' faux period experience ... that despite that fact that title vii requires employers to accommodate employees religious practices, not their fashion taste

the point of the lawsuit is not that the hat would compromise boudlal's religious beliefs, but that she was singled out

yes, it is an odd thing for disney to do, especially in an environment were boudlal's coworkers were permitted to wear non-period hair styles, jewelry and tattoos without being "offered" positions away from public view or any humiliating additions to their uniforms

title vii prohibits any non-religious employer from discriminating against individuals because of their religion in hiring, firing, and other terms and conditions of employment ... it also requires employers to reasonably accommodate the religious practices of an employee, unless to do so would create an undue…

i blame phil hartman, may he rest in peace, for my inability to give president raygun his leading man kudos

"to me, it seems that they're trying to stop males liking the female form"

look ... female sexuality under patriarchy has been defined as passive ... if a woman pursues her desires she is a whore and "good" women don't have sexual thoughts, unless they are for their husbands ... boys, however, will be boys, "real men" take charge sexually, and the more notches on their belts the better

exactly ... we could ogle male divers day and night for the next four years without ever making a dent in male social or economic power ... but we women are still trying to convince whole cultures that women are more than just the objects of men's will and desires

i remember when non-gymnastic/tennis women's sports were first televised and the near-universal pronouncement was that no one would ever watch ... and broadcast media coverage of female athletes has continued to be so sparse that it has remained not-in-the-good-way exceptional ... but the medal dominance of american…
