A 21 year-old gal in England sued her former employers and won and the details of the case are hilariously sexual harassment-tastic.

Sarah Crosbie, 21, suffered ’systematic and continuous’ sexist abuse as the sole female employee at a plumbing company which operated a ‘lads culture’.
Despite being employed as the administrator for the Plumb Centre in Torquay, Sarah was ordered to clean the toilets and kitchens every day.
She was also continually threatened with the sack.
On one occasion Miss Crosbie was told to clean an overflowing male lavatory. When she refused, staff called her a ’silly cow’.
A relationship with a male colleague also ended after managers warned him that she would ‘cry rape’.
‘He asked me to clean the toilets and the kitchens. He never asked anyone else to do it. He made me clean the dirty toilets,’ she said.
‘Sam called me a bitch and a whore and a silly cow. I was angry and upset and hurt within myself by being put through that abuse.’
Now you may think that this is awful and unfair but I should say that the woman actually involved looks like this instead of the saucy Abi Titmuss pictured above. See? You empathize much less now, I bet. That’s the power of a good pair of glasses. Also breasts. Breasts definitely help.
It is kind of shitty how they treated her, even though she was just a 21 year-old assistant. I mean even if you want to call her a whore or a cow, these things are probably best left muttered or written on Post-Its and placed on her desk. I mean, there’s sexism and then there’s SEXISM. There’s no reason why you can’t hate this woman adequately without getting sued. The key to success with everything in life is moderation. And treating women as though they’re inferior. Those two things.

How is this special. A womanperson doesn’t clean the toilets and she gets away with it. This should be shoved under the carpet and the woman should be withheld from speaking to any of the other girlypeople for the rest of her life. What if they stop cleaning the toilets?!

Yeah I agree. I kind of thought that was a weak part of the claim…she was the lowest on the totem pole so somebody has to do it. But I imagine that calling her a cow and whatnot didn’t help put that into the most positive of lights.

Cows are useful. They give milk and meat. She should appreciate that more.

A penny saved is a woman fired. Cleaning toilets and getting fucked is what they were made for.
