I get the feeling that they were more forced into exposing themselves to the gorilla than actually wanting to do it.

The whole story seems a little off.

sounds to me like they were forced into showing their breasts to the gorillas whcih is why they would be suing after being fired.

I'm thinking....what were these women thinking? If they didn't want to do that, why did they? No job is worth digrading yourself.

I think it's still a harassment issue regardless of the boss' sex.

i think so too. i'd be suing but i would've done that right after she asked me to do that in the first place and report her to the labour board as well.

I know you wouldn't get away with anything even remotely close to that in Canada these days.

Sadly that happens to be pretty much exact. It's so sad these days that in a management postition you can't talk to your work buds the way you used to. People can actually use the power your postition holds against you buy simply stating they felt pressured by you to act a certain way. As stupid as it sounds it can and will cost you your job.

I always thought that Jane Fossey woman was rather strange with her 'love' of gorillas too. I have no need whatsoever to bond with a gorilla....and really can't imagine why anyone would want to.

Haven't you ever hear the phrase "she was the gorilla my dreams"?

Default What about the gorilla?

Has anyone even considered the feelings of the gorilla?
If I was a gorilla, I would have wanted them to flash their breasts at me.
Where's the love? Maybe the gorilla really did have a breast fetish, I could relate to that.
