Female CEO says white males can't sue her because they are not a "protected class"

23. Look at the proponderance of evidence

Several individuals have joined the lawsuit. Five men are suing. So those guys, five of them, are willing to risk their careers to call this one superior on the issue. I grant you that it isn't settled yet, but it looks to me like she did it. I'm not saying that because she is a woman, and they are men. I'm saying that because five people are the plaintiffs of the suit, five. They are listing nearly every other employee of the company as witness's. They would be beyond foolish to do so if there wasn't any truth, and while I can believe there are groups of foolish individuals, we have Congress as an example, I have a hard time swallowing the idea that everyone in the group is a fool. Not just one, every single one.

Then there is the defense of the one accused. Her first reply is that white males are not a protected class, and therefor can't file a lawsuit. That tells me she knew what she was doing, and felt she could get away with it because no one would side with a white male if he complained. Later she claims she was usually traveling, and hardly ever in the office anyway. But she's asking for the suit to be dismissed not because she was not in the office, but because White Males are not a protected class.

That demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what equality is, and what EEO is all about. EEO regulations don't create protected classes, they prevent harassment of everyone. Here are the protected classes. If you have a race, a gender, a religion, or a ethnicity. Every one of us have at least three of those, and it has been argued that even those who have no religion have a religious belief. Sexual orientation is being added to the list, but that is another discussion.

So those men are protected, and while she is correct that it is unusual for white men to file a lawsuit, she is mistaken if she thinks that is because they are the authorized by law victim class. They aren't. A hate crime can be done against anyone, or by anyone. Harassment can be done by anyone, or to anyone.

So it is at this time five against one, and while we have no idea what the other employees will say, it is telling that the CEO is demanding that the suit be dismissed based upon the race and gender of the plaintiff, the alleged victim.
