Well, spank me rosy!

I can’t seem to do links at the moment, but I happened up on this news blurb:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060428/ap_on_re_us/spanking_trial
So….if I understand the situation even a little bit, the plaintiff in the case was paddled on the bottom during a ‘team-building activities and general good-time fun day’ at work (during which various other forms of humiliation occurred), and she’s manipulating the system by crying sexual harrassment? I don’t buy it.
Even if it wasn’t sexual harrassment because it happened to everyone else, too, that is just wrong and the company should be held liable. IMO.

Um… I don’t get it, either. The article doesn’t exactly go in-depth, does it? It tells us the jury heard she’d sued someone else for sexual harrassment, but doesn’t tell us what led them to believe she was crying wolf. I know some people do play the system. But in sales, the probability of someone experiencing harrassment twice is not that low, IMO.

Yep, because women cry sexual harrassment to get ahead and fr financial gain. Never mind that the financial gain is usually negligable (in AUstralia we don’t have punitive damages) as as far as getting ahead geos, well, being ‘the woman who cries sexual harrasment’ is hardly good PR. Conclusion? Most people who would bother going through such a trying experience are TELLING THE TRUTH!
It doesn’t matter that it happened to other people, or even that they took it in good fun. It matters that SHE was offended. ‘Someone else liked it’ is not an excuse for harrassing everyone.
