Dragging our asses into the 21st century

A "Sexy librarian" who was passed over for promotion many times lost her discrimination suit against Harvard:

Ms Goodwin claimed she was overlooked for 16 promotions and kept in the same job since she was hired in 1994. She said a superior told her she could not be promoted because she was viewed as a sexily dressed 'pretty girl'. According to court documents, she claimed the supervisor told her she was seen as a 'joke' because she wore 'low-cut blouses' and 'tight pants'. "

The dumbfounds me in so many ways. Maybe I'll think of something clever and add to this post later. But for now I'm just stupified.
