Why are they "silly", if a woman is being demeaned or made to feel uncomfortable by a male colleague?
You seem to find it incredibly difficult to understand why certain terms are not acceptable in the modern-day workplace.

This was obviously based on a grudge she had with her employer, because she couldn't get what she wanted. The judge who said this was a sexist act needs to be replaced. This was not based on discrimination or prejudice. He probably calls men younger than him son. Should that be considered a case for sexism?
Well, you clearly do, because you think that using 'birds' to address female work colleagues is acceptable when it most definitely isn't.Zambo wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 12:42 pm I don't find it incredibly difficult to understand anything.

As for your rather sexist take on this particular case, the less said about that, the better.
Her case was about her boss not giving her flexible time because of her disease because she was a woman; which is illegal in the UK. If you think that's silly that's on you really.
The case wasn't just about that, and it's not the part I'm talking about. As you well know, the one which I am referring to, is where a judge said that calling a woman a bird is sexist, which is absolute bollocks.
The only one making a fuss about this is yourself. The judge was right in his findings.Zambo wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 4:38 pmThe case wasn't just about that, and it's not the part I'm talking about.

With all the things going on, making a big fuss about being called a bird is pathetic. It's a bit like people whining on about having a cold when others are dying with Covid-19.
Got the picture yet?
The case was exactly about her disease, as you well know. The language her boss used is an example of the sexist attitude that led to him unlawfully discriminating against her on the basis of her sex.Zambo wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 4:38 pmThe case wasn't just about that, and it's not the part I'm talking about.

Not sure I follow your logic.
I didn't say that, that's the weird interpretation your minded shunted out.
