- I would consider it sexual discrimination if women with a similar hair style
- were hired by that company for similar positions. I don't know how far you
- could get in court with this though. Up here in Canada Gwen Jacobs has not
- had much luck (yet) in convincing the courts that the laws which make it
- illegal for women (but not men) to go topfree are sexual discrimination. (Does
- anyone know what the current status of this case is?)
