Sources: Man Sues His Female Boss For Telling Him To "Man Up"
Mirror - A laboratory scientist is suing the “woman-dominated” firm where he worked, claiming that his female boss told him to “man up”.
Daniel Price alleges that “extreme discrimination against males” made the company a “toxic workplace”.
He claims that his manager Ashleigh Knowles told him “men are less organised” and that he was repeatedly ordered to “go away” during “girls-only” conversations.
Mr Price says he was the only worker instructed to carry boxes, being told “because you’re a man”.
He once refused, due to a hernia, but was ordered to “man up and get on with it, it’s only a few boxes”, a tribunal heard.
Mr Price was dismissed last May after 16 months with food-test specialists PiQ in Ebbw Vale, South Wales.
An employment judge in Cardiff ruled he has an “arguable case” for sex discrimination and ordered a full hearing.
The tribunal heard that lab manager Ms Knowles said of a new appointment: “More than likely it’ll be a girl, as women tend to be better and more organised in the lab.”
She then allegedly told Mr Price: “You’re lucky to have your job, as everyone was shocked that it was a guy being employed.
"We normally only employ females because men are less organised.”
Well well well is right.
There hasn't been a case this important since I can remember.
This is what the professional scholars call "landmark."
This is it boys (and girls).
This is the case that will establish precedence. Sure, I realize the courts of Great Britain have no bearing whatsoever on ours here in The United States, but every movement begins with a first step.
And this is that first step.
Should the English court show the integrity that I think they will, Daniel Price might not only be financially compensated, but he will be remembered as the guy who stood up to misandry.
No longer will female bosses and on the job counterparts be able to ask us to lift heavy boxes.
What? Because we're men? Sexist much?
No longer will they be able to ogle our junk when we wear those tight-fitting in the groin area, but very comfortable jeans, on casual Fridays.
And best of all, no more "girl-talk".
Enough is enough.
Hope you had a nice run ladies.
