Brickbat: Girls Club

An Ontario Human Rights Tribunal said Adnan Cenanovic failed to prove he lost a food service job because of his gender. It also found there was evidence he never really wanted the job. But the tribunal still found that the owner of the Bourbon St. Grill discriminated against him simply by placing an ad calling for "female only" servers.

An Ontario Human Rights Tribunal said-

Stop right there.

[Swiss Servator, CHF w00t!]

OK...

*stands motionless*

[Fist of Etiquette]

Not all men have penises. The Bourbon St. Grill should have used that in its defense somehow.

As you were.

[Adans smith]

yes you honor,it's true,this man has no dick

[Steve G]

+1 who you gonna call

[Adans smith]

listen ,do you smell something?

[UnCivilServant]

While we stipulate that there is a non-zero quantity of individuals designated 'men' who have been mutilated maimed or otherwise altered, this is no time for a circumscison thread.

Had the owner been requiring applicants to drop trou and have their components inspected, there would be a very different type of lawsuit going on.

[Swiss Servator, CHF w00t!]

Yes, sir!

*returns to work*

[Steve G]

"work"

[Swiss Servator, CHF w00t!]

We all work of Fist's behalf....one way or another.

[Swiss Servator, CHF w00t!]

"on"

[Ted S.]

Is your work today going to be easier or more difficult?

[Swiss Servator, CHF w00t!]

More difficult! Caught between Fist's orders and my Swiss masters' orders.

Weiwei "Tony" Zhu, the owner of Bourbon St. Grill in a Richmond Hill, Ont., mall

The much larger issue here: an Asian Canadian is appropriating White American Southern culture. Let's start a hashtag war on Twitter to raise awareness until this cultural theft is acknowledge, Zhu makes a tearful apology, and changed the name to Canadian Club Poutine Palace. Who's with me?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Meh. They can have the French-derived parts of our culture.

[UnCivilServant]

You realize that the Cajuns were displaced French-Canukistanis, right?

[Rufus J. Firefly]

Acadians to be exact.

[Copernicus]

A heavy rain washed them down the Mississippi to the toilet drain called LA.

[Steve G]

I'm still processing Asian Canadian. I thought we were the only ones doing that whole dual identity stuff.
So would he be good at math AND friendly?

[Adans smith]

And can't drive a snowmobile .

[UnCivilServant]

Oi, you watch it. I have it on good authority that the ability to drive a snowmobile is not in fact a skill possessed by most of the northern neighbors.

[Adans smith]

Or a snow blower,can't keep it on the sidewalk

[Rufus J. Firefly]

Dude, come to Quebec where all we're missing is to identify people with numbered tattoos insider our wrists we're so into labeling.

Yes, Quebec is retarded when it comes to race and culture. Just my opinion.

[Entropy Void]

Yours and many others, Rufus ... your and many others.

[Rebel Scum]

discriminated against him simply by placing an ad calling for "female only" servers

I take it there are no 'Hooters' establishments in Canada.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

Why is Reason racist against Ontario?

And sometimes I wonder who is worse. Ontario or Quebec?

I lean Ontario but Quebec's language laws give it a special edge.

At least, for now, we can let our kids roam and play freely unlike some idiotic paranoid places in the U.S.

[Pope Jimbo]

What next? Pretty soon they will go after Ladies Night promotions at bars?

Wait, they have been doing that for years:

"I've had my crosses in life too, gals!" proclaims Horner. "For you to preach equality to me for 35 frickin' feminist years, but yet want free drinks when it's tits up at the bar time, I'm saying foul. You've got to take the salt with the sugar, sweetie. You're not going to deny me of my equal rights."

Someone needs to buy this guy a cake.

[Isaac Bartram]

Actually, I'm pretty sure that pretty much all promotions at bars are illegal in Ontario.

Although things have loosened up a lot in the last twenty or so years my experience has been that except for Quebec, Canada's provincial liquor laws are only slightly more liberal than Utah's.

[Libertarian]

Je suis Adnan Cenanovic

[Crusty Juggler]

I am currently searching for a female girlfriend

[pogi]

With or without a vagina?

[Rebel Scum]

Has always had a vagina or has recently acquired a vagina?

[Rich]

Isn't the only requirement that they identify, um, it as a vagina?

[Bardas Phocas]

It's just that my clitoris looks like a snake.

[Rich]

In the end, though, Mr. Zhu testified that he interviewed five people for the job, three women and two men, and hired none of them. Instead he gave more hours to a man he had already hired.

What a cop out!

Both sides were given 30 days to suggest potential remedies for the violation.

What a lazy judge!
