This should be obvious, but rumors about a woman sleeping her way to the top of the corporate ladder can constitute sexual harassment under federal law. #ThatsHarassment #MeToo on.nwlc.org/2xx50pW

Malicious rumors questioning a woman’s professional expertise and upward mobility:
➡️ Damage her career
➡️ Subject her to sexual harassment
➡️ Discriminate against her based on sex

In fact, malicious rumors about an employee of 𝐚𝐧𝐲 gender getting promoted based on sexual conduct or favors is a form of sexual harassment. #ThatsHarassment #MeToo

You know what’s grossly wrong? Getting falsely accused of sleeping your way to the top, complaining about it to HR, and then getting FIRED for complaining. It’s so wrong, it’s illegal under federal civil rights law. #ThatsHarassment #MeToo

Sexual harassment is sex discrimination. Full stop. #ThatsHarassment #MeToo

This case demonstrates that #MeToo needs to shine a light on how much #CourtsMatter, and that the fight against sexual harassment requires outing whenever judges don’t apply the law correctly so that justice can prevail. #ThatsHarassment
