todays “highly amusing article of the day” comes in the form of this cnn article. a court dimissed the lawsuit filed by desiree goodwin, a harvard library assistant, against harvard that claimed she was discriminated against because she was merely the “pretty girl who wore sexy outfits, low cut blouses, and tight pants.” oh, and she was also discriminated against because of her race (shes black) and gender…according to her after she was denied promotions 7 times. the court summarily tossed her lawsuit out the window.
first and foremost…shes black? shit, i couldnt tell. secondly, 5 of the 7 promotions she was denied went to other women…so, right. and third, i wouldnt say shes all that. shes not ugly or anything, but on the halo scale of hotness, shes a solid 6. i wouldnt discriminate you desiree, because youre not that “pretty girl”…youre that “better-than-average” girl.
> too sexy for this post (via cnn)
eh… low to middling 5
“Goodwin, 40, testified earlier in the trial that she overcame a childhood marked by poverty and a chaotic family life to attend Cornell University, Boston College and Simmons College, earning a bachelor’s degree and two master’s degrees, including one in library science.”
Daym. TWO masters. Smaht, mosdef. 😉
