ATL readers react with cruelty to sex discrimination filing

Above the Law has a post about lawyer Julie Kamps suing the Big Law firm of Fried Frank for sex discrimination. She worked there as an associate for 10 years, was repeatedly promised partnership, and then was fired. Now she is suing for sex discrimination, claiming sexual harassment. Although what I've read of the complaint is melodramatic and could use a good edit, it sounds like a sad story. What is really annoying, however, are the personal comments. (Annoying, but not surprising. I read them in order to get blog fodder.) "Ugh, look at her. Nobody is going to sexually harass that. I would make her wear a burqua if she worked in my office." Nice. What is the matter with these ATL readers?
