Dissenting Judge Harry Pregerson countered that the makeup requirement was based on "a cultural assumption -- and gender-based stereotype -- that women's faces are incomplete, unattractive, or unprofessional without full makeup."
The above story is about a female casino worker who was fired because she refused to wear face make-up to work. I just watched the movie "North Country." It's about the first women who worked in the Minnesota mines and the sexual harassment they fought against (and won a victory over). It so sad to see those gains being given away like this. See the movie if you get a chance. We all need to think about how we can fight back against gender inequality like that represented in the above case.
