What price for sex ?

A young woman working for department store David Jones had an unfortunate encounter with it's chief executive. He asked her for a bit of nookey !

She complained - and the store did the right thing. The chief executive got fired !

Now this young woman is suing David Jones and it's directors - for an amazing thirty-seven million dollars. She says she is entitled to five percent of the chief executives salary - and five percent of the stores annual profits.

Just why she thinks that a simple request for sex should result in the store paying such a penalty is unclear.

Ever since the opposing genders of male and female appeared on the earth the battle for sexual favours has raged. There must be few men on this planet who have not coveted some woman in their lifetime - and few women who have not been flattered to find that a man finds them attractive.

The only issue here seems to be the status of the male concerned. As the chief executive, this guy had power ! He could promote - or he could deliver retribution for a refusal - and for that indiscretion he was cast adrift and lost a well paying job.

It seems that David Jones did the right thing - and this young woman claims that all she wanted was to be " treated with respect ".

Surely firing the offender was a reasonable outcome - and this claim for a ridiculous amount of money is sheer opportunism !

Or perhaps a bold move to grab fame and fortune by becoming a " celebrity " !
