Russian Judge Rules Sexual Harassment Is Okay As It Ensures Survival Of Human Race
Source: Huffington Post

A woman seeking to become only the third woman ever to successfully bring a sexual harassment case in Russia was dealt a shocking rebuke when the judge threw out her case, ruling that sexual harassment is actually necessary for the survival of the human race:
She alleged she had been locked out of her office after she refused to have intimate relations with her 47-year-old boss.


"He always demanded that female workers signalled to him with their eyes that they desperately wanted to be laid on the boardroom table as soon as he gave the word," she earlier told the court. "I didn't realise at first that he wasn't speaking metaphorically."

The judge said he threw out the case not through lack of evidence but because the employer had acted gallantly rather than criminally.

"If we had no sexual harassment we would have no children," the judge ruled.

4. Oh my head...
Children wouldn't be possible without sexual harassment?
Leading to the next conclusion that children wouldn't be possible without rape?

Nice lesson for the kiddies, there.

6. Yes, survival of the the human race depends on bosses boinking their workers against their will.
That's some keen judicial mind operating there. Oy.
