Claims reverse sexual discrimation in lawsuit. Says if a female made same comment about a man, nothing would happen.

quote:

Heckman then filed this action against “PBS Newshour,” WNET and APC Workforce Solutions, alleging he was terminated “because of sex and sex stereotyping” over an “innocuous remark.”


It’s true. There are so many double standards in the work place today when it comes to this type of thing.

She’s not bad, Kate is better though.

Disagree. Kate is great, but Markle is greater.

This comment was overheard by a female colleague 20 feet away, who remarked that Heckman wasn’t abiding by the principles of the recent sexual harassment training session the employees had attended. Another female co-worker commented, “haven’t you learned?"

The complaint alleges that Heckman “immediately explained that he had not intended any sexually harassing remark,” and that he was referring to Markle’s suitability as a match for Prince Harry with regards to her charm and beauty


He lost some credibility with that last bit. He should have replied, “I’m sorry. I didn’t intend for you nosey bitches to hear our conversation.”

Looks like he has a strong case with the female employee not being investigated for a similar occurrence.

He's 72, so basically at retirement age already. They will 100% settle, and he'll take a sweet golden parachute.

If women really wanted to be treated as equals to their male counterparts, then shouldn't they be strong enough to take criticism, instead of bitching about every little thing that is said about them?

You think Genghis Khan would have gotten butt hurt if some chick said he was 'not bad' at conquering and raping the lands?

It's becoming obvious that the Markle marriage was a deal between the media and the royals to allow unprecedented tabloid access and coverage of their lives. It's the only explanation for the daily tabloid blast of this boring union.

Poor Harry. I bet he's been treated like shite by them his whole life because they know he's a bastard.
