Here's something that anyone starting a new business should be aware of that I learned about the hard way: 1 in 3 small businesses are hit with a lawsuit each year and many of these businesses are forced to go out of business because they cannot absorb a massive out of court settlement or the attorney and court costs. Why are so many businesses, large or small hit with lawsuits each year? The vast majority of these suits are frivilous- usually some kind of issue based on sex or race, descrimination, etc., but the vast majority of these are 'sexual harassment' cases. How do you avoid the problem? Don't hire women. Simple. Men don't file sexual harassment lawsuits-does this sound sexist? Yes, it does, but what is more important, political correctness or the survival and success of your company? Female employees are unreliable anyway- plus they demand preferencial treatment, they're work-shy and demand 'flexi-hours.' More and companies of any size are suspicious of especially young women coming into the workforce because they have learned from experience that female employees will suddenly quit to have a baby. Be smart.

Given your attitude it wouldn't surprise me if someone did sue you. I'll go even further and say you would deserve it considering how you think.

How about instead simply treating your employees with respect, no matter what their sex, race, religion, etc. Some people might sue you, but if you've done nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about.

Women are pretty amazing where I'm concerned. Some of the best and the brightest I've seen have been women. Some of the best and brightest have been men too. They've been of different races and religions and come from different cultures and have had all sorts of differences.

Instead of lumping all people into obvious groups why not treat them for the unique and valuable indivduals they all are. Treat people with respect and they in turn will treat you with respect. You will find good and bad people in any group classification. If we were to all apply the same characterstics of a single individual to every group they could possibly belong to then we must all be idiots as business owners since we can be identified in the same group as you.

Please don't come back again until you can bring an attitude with you that belongs in the 21st century and not the 12th century.

<Given your attitude it wouldn't surprise me if someone did sue you. I'll go even further and say you would deserve it considering how you think.>

Right. It's just me. I guess you weren't paying attention, or you don't pay attention to what happens statistically to 1 in 3 businesses across the country.

<How about instead simply treating your employees with respect, no matter what their sex, race, religion, etc. Some people might sue you, but if you've done nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about.>

You clearly know nothing about the lawsuit/false accusation industry and are extremely naive.

<Women are pretty amazing where I'm concerned. Some of the best and the brightest I've seen have been women. Some of the best and brightest have been men too. They've been of different races and religions and come from different cultures and have had all sorts of differences.>

You've never owned or ran your own business or have never even worked in middle management for any other company, I can tell. So therefore your opinion means nothing.

<Instead of lumping all people into obvious groups why not treat them for the unique and valuable indivduals they all are. Treat people with respect and they in turn will treat you with respect.>

That's very philosophical in a Sesame Street kind of way. What are you, a bumper sticker? (Ha)

<You will find good and bad people in any group classification. If we were to all apply the same characterstics of a single individual to every group they could possibly belong to then we must all be idiots as business owners since we can be identified in the same group as you.>

Thanks for the kindergarten lesson, Captain Kangaroo.

<Please don't come back again until you can bring an attitude with you that belongs in the 21st century and not the 12th century.>

That's ironic, because the females that loiter in the workplace today are a direct result of Feminist culture driving the federal laws to legally force women into the workplace. Business knows what it needs, and if there had ever been a demand for women, then business would have done it on it's own. Anytime you have to legally force your way into anything, it's a sure sign that you are not wanted or needed, and Feminism is as outdated as tie-dye t-shirts and the homeless, toothless hippies still hanging around San Francisco. You're the one that needs to catch up to the 21st Century and pull your head out of a goofy and idiotic movement from the 1960's. Forcing women on employers has been a disaster and a nightmare, and as a result, the U.S. is becoming a joke in the new global economy, because most businesses in other countries are based on a traditional male model and therefore much more efficient and successful. If you ever do run a business, it will fail, guaranteed.

I think you're just proving my point and showing how ridiculous your attitudes are. So what you're saying is that no women should be allowed to work. It's hard to believe that someone with your attitude still exists, but especially sad that someone like you can still exist.

I was going to just let this go because your whole point is ludicrous and as I am a woman, insulting, but I couldn't resist presenting this data.

I work for a company that was founded by a woman.
We have a woman president
Five of our department heads are women
We compete nationally and are one of the best known companies in our industry.
The company has been in business for over 30 years.

I'm guessing you don't have a lot of women in your life in any capacity. So I'll say something to you that you said to Van Gogh, given your lack of experience on the subject, your opinion clearly means nothing.

(By the way, Van Gogh, great post and thanks!)

What resource are you using for the 1 in 3 getting sued? What is the percantage of the "vast majority" being sexual harrasement cases? For that matter what is the percentage of the "frivolous" cases?

Sexual harassment lawsuits in this day and age are virtually all frivilous or out and out false allegations.

You give one example and what... you want a medal?

<I'm guessing you don't have a lot of women in your life in any capacity. So I'll say something to you that you said to Van Gogh, given your lack of experience on the subject, your opinion clearly means nothing.>

Here's a prime example of the female mindset that carries over into a business environment- subjective, irrational, and straying from the subject. Since you are sointerested in my personal life, (yeah right) for your information, I have a wife and two adult daughters, and they all three agree with me.

Hey, I don't file the lawsuits- I don't have anything to do with it.

<It's hard to believe that someone with your attitude still exists, but especially sad that someone like you can still exist.>

No, what's hard to accept is that society has now come full circle and it is now painfully obvious that feminism didn't work out and has caused nothing but grief and disaster in every possible aspect.

Look, you get hit with a million dollar lawsuit for some supposed 'sexual harassment' that happened at your business while you weren't even there, forced to file CH11 as a direct result, and get back to me and let know how it goes.

You still have not provided a reputable source.


A lawyers word...yes that is very trustworthy..
