- I'm using it in the area of equal opp. hiring; hiring
- minorities as well as wasp's. If you use as an example of
- EE cases things like you're describing, it becomes something
- other than what it is meant for. You might just as well say
- that if the ladies room has a bigger vanity than the mens
- room, then that is EE discrimination based on favoritism
- to women. Generally, EE is a much more narrow focus.

- Progress...anyone have any examples of some? Maybe identifying
- companies that do *not* yet have them, but who show evidence
- of not discriminating based on SP, and sending them samples of
- how other companies have solved the problem would cause more
- companies to offer DP benefits?
