Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
No, what they each said reflected the fact that employment decisions can't be made on the basis of race, gender, veteran's status, etc, whatever else is in the law, which is my understanding. You can't hire or fire someone for being a man or for being a woman, either way.
Edit: Of course the laws were made to protect the people in the groups that are traditionally discriminated against, but they apply to everyone.

Not that it's likely, but pretty much, yeah.
Yeah, I was kind of speaking in terms of effect there - no, they can't out and out, but I'm guessing it's a much harder thing to prove/prevail in court if they do.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What they said. We actually talked about Hooters in my HR class last year.
Have y'all heard that Hooters Air is shutting down (except for chartered flights)?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Anyone have any miracle tips for getting new shoes to stop making your heels bleed?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh. I thought Brenda was saying they could fire you for being a white guy, and that Hec was saying they couldn't fire you based on your gender or race.

From the "hearing problems are funny" department:
I walked past my coworker's radio, on which the person said the phrase "Hispanics who are coming here."
Definitely thought he said "asthmatics in plumbing gear."

I totally thought that tommyrot was linking to an article about female genital mutilation.

With the foot stuff you can also sometimes find these fuzzy stick-on things specifically made to stick into the back of shoes. The actually stay on surprisingly long. Sometimes putting something slippery like Vaseline on the skin helps.
