I see what you mean BUT on the flip... people can be bloody nasty and they should know it's SO unacceptable that there's a clear and legal consequence. A lot of woman have ACCEPTED less for fear of losing their job.. people suffer a lot in silence and people get away with discrimination if it benefits them eg wages, businesses. When you say 'as long as they aren't breaking the law' .. isn't that the point? That there needs to be clear lines about where it becomes harmful. Believe all you like... but seriously there's a line between discrimatory BELIEF and discriminatory ACTION.

Fuck years of woman being disadvantaged in the workplace... it's still going on.. without those laws woman would be even WORSE off. Teachers who go off on maternity leave here can get 7 years and their job is held for them. What employer would do that unless it's regulated? Yep.. there's always going to be jerks which is exactly why we need laws to stop us going back to the 1950s.

Im an idealist... and I wish I.could trust society to unfuck itself... but I don't think.it can without a whole heap of crew coming together and saying yep.. this is the law that's gonna protect crew the most.
