Show me your enemies.: (All-male) Iowa Supreme Court: Bosses can fire employees they find "irresistible"

polerin:

Welcome to the patriarchy!

A dentist acted legally when he fired an assistant that he found attractive simply because he and his wife viewed the woman as a threat to their marriage, the all-male Iowa Supreme Court ruled Friday.

The court ruled 7-0 that…

So if I ever move to Iowa I can be fired if I look  ’too pretty’ and my boss can’t keep it in his pants. At least he didn’t rape me instead? What a world we live in.
