- Suppose we have the following situation. In 1990, employee A who is
- female, is not given promotion, which is instead given to employee B,
- a male who was much less qualified than A. Despite this clear-case of
- sex discrimination, A stays with the company. In 1992, the same
- position becomes available again. However, this time, employee C, a
- male who is much more qualified than A is also in the running for the
- promotion. Should A be granted preferential treatment and be given the
- promotion over C (who is better qualified) because of the
- discrimination against her in the past?
-
- No. She should, however, sue the buns off the company. And kick the
- balckguard in the crotch.
