Girls Womyn just want to have fun be treated with respect.

Catherine Seipp describes the world created by feminism. A stewardess flight attendant who is female is disciplined by her employer for being flirty on her blog.

I'm not sure that the company execs were really personally offended, but the fear of sexual harrassment suits has made everybody Puritanical. They probably can't even put their finger on what she's doing wrong; it just FEELS "inappropriate" and not really knowing what that means makes them nervous as shrews. Avoiding sexual harrassment suits is now a major business for consultants who go around giving presentations to employers and they generally counsel Zero Tolerance, because the issues are so vague. A cocked eyebrow or a wink these days can get a company sued.
