Have you ever been member of a student society? This is nothing, and they don't consider it degrading at all. They call it character building. There is a big difference of opinion here, I must say.

You can't simply assume something is what you think it is for others, because others may perceive it differently.

people will participate in fear of losing their jobs, their living.

So fear to lose their living outweighs any moral and legal considerations for the person in the situation? That would be interesting, as then the whole US Constitution, plus its Ammendments, would be a joke. Would this woman go as far, as to hold that position as well?

the company was wrong. they admitted it when they stopped that rediculous activity.

Nonsense. Remember the woman who "accidentally" spilled hot coffee over her lap, and sued for a few billion dollar and WON?
Apparently it is ridiculous for coffeemakers to assume that people have at least half a brain, and can think of the fact that if the coffee is hot in the cup, that it might be hot outside of the cup as well. So they stopped not printing that the coffee is hot on the cups.
That does not mean that the company was filled with morons. It only meant that the company was not moron-proof.

And apparently, it is ridiculous for a company to assume, that if someone does not agree with something, that that person will speak up (First Ammendment). Which is, in fact one of the founding principles of the US, and most countries of the world.

wearing diapers and paddling butts is unthinkable.

Probably you have never been into a student society. Practices like this are far more common than you think.

Either this woman is complaining for her own lack of assertiveness (and what would she be doing in the security field anyways?), or the US Constitution would be a joke. Take your pick.
