Before I started my own corp. Iwas running a large condominium project (40+ yrs ago) as I had two sisters that were tom boys and go getters and a daughter I had no problem when hiring a couple of young girls to learn in what was at the time mostly a male dominated industry. Within 2 weeks it was apparent that all they wanted to do was flirt with the guys and we let them go. Shortly therafter I was informed that they were filing sexual discrimination charges against me and the company. Fortunatly I was with a large company that took this serious and had their attorney hire and investigator check into the 2 young ladies. As it turns out we were the 4th firm they had pulled it on the other 3 paid them off to go away. My company went to the DA and they ended up in some kind of plea deal I only offer this as an explaination as why in over 35yrs running my own company I never again hired a single woman. I had teems  of husband and wives and after some years sometimes only ended up with the wives working. What I'm getting at is the accusation leaves a stain that is hard to wash off. I was happy to teach women a trade that would have allowed them to raise a family on their own if the case arose and decided that it wasn't worth the risk. How many industries and small companies are out there that don't have the resource to fight charges that will automatically be taken as truth will follow my lead?
