With a very conservative / religious nut / misogynist boss the 'rationale' would be somewhere along the lines 'She took nudes. She's a slut.' There's a reason sex and nudity gets tagged as NSFW.

If we're serious about keeping women in the workforce, this is a must.

If she had lost her job over those pictures, could she have sued him (and won) for compensation?

You forgot to include: Miscarriage due to too heavy lifting during pregancy - "YOU MURDERED THAT BABY. OFF TO JAIL YOU GO!"

My country already offers me 14 months (imagine that, dude!) of paid maternity leave, a subsidized daycare place once the little critter is 12 months old, child benefits until the kid is 18 or 25 years old and job security, as long as I'm pregnant or on maternity leave. My country would also like me to procreate…

Come on, USA, it's about time you earned the term first world country and implemented several weeks of maternity leave before and at least half a year after someone gives birth. Paid maternity leave, of course. It might even help with abortion rates, because people are more inclined to have a baby, when they know they…

Christmas in the Western world is more of a cultural thing than a religious one. A lot of what we consider essential to Christmas (tree, other decorations, certain food, gifts, Santa) has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus. My family has been atheist for three generations (probably longer, but baptizing kids only…

I'm pretty sure if someone were to start a public discussion about women/sexism/misogyny in the light of what happened to Tugce A. most people would wave it off, because her attacker (and presumably his harrassing friends, too), was a) an immigrant and b) a Muslim. They'd see the reasons for his reaction in his…

I suppose it must be something like that. I don't really understand the term myself. The German president used it, I believe, in the sense, that women supposedly expect a higher level of virtue and morals from men than is reasonable, and that they are therefore outraged about very small incidents of no importance or…

If he's tried as a adult. Since he's only 18 it is quite possible that he won't be, if he's found to be not mature enough.

German President Joachim Gauck has praised her bravery, writing to her family, via BBC: "Where other people looked the other way, Tugce showed exemplary courage and moral fortitude."

According to the rather extensive German press coverage the attacker punched her head, she fell and hit her head on the hard pavement. It is unclear at this point whether her extensive head injuries were caused by the punch or by her fall. It is also unclear whether he meant to kill her or 'just' wanted to beat her…

3:30 is killing me. I want a cow to cuddle with, too.

She wasn't married. He was. She didn't have a family. He did. The person to get the blame for breaking up a marriage, is the one whose marriage it was. He made the choice to cheat.

I am Black person who believes that Mike Brown's decisions that day caused his death. Robbing a store, fighting a police officer and attempting to take a gun away from an officer are all felonies.

Robbing a store, fighting a police officer and attempting to take a gun away from an officer are all felonies.

Quite frankly I don't mind that all these condescending male authors opt out of earning the buckets of money YA literature brought e.g. Suzanne Collins.

It's a genre written mostly by women, mostly about women, and mostly for women.

After seeing the video and the comments in the press, Mrs. Rector came to the opinion that Miss VŠE 2014 has significantly damaged the reputation of the school.

I'm pretty sure Distant_Horizon is talking about the current Czech president Miloš Zeman, who'd give quite a few of your Republican morons a run for their money. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldvie…
