There is a story currently making headlines about a woman who is claiming she was fired for having "large breasts". She claims after constantly being sexually harassed and having her body be commented on that that lead to her eventual firing.

Now I am not sure exactly how I feel about this story. The company obviously claims that there was certainly no connection between her body and her eventual termination.

I feel as though that its probably true that comments had been made to her in the past about her breasts, and those were definitely out of line in general and definitely out of line the workplace. However, if she did have an issue those things should have been addressed when they happened so those in charge of the company could have dealt with the problem.

Her being fired however, I WOULD HOPE, should not have anything to do with the way she looks whether it is good or bad. If the claim is that she "was distracting" fellow employees at meetings than that is just assanine.

Women should dress in a professional manner in the workplace and I understand that. However, if she felt that those set social standards did not apply to her and chose to dress as if she was going to the club everyday- then she could be asked to dress differenty. This though, is a free country. She may be unprofessional in doing so but she does have the right to dress how she wants without her coworkers saying rude comments to her.

I truly hope that she is just a pissed off former employee trying to create a publicity stunt to to get her job back or find a new one.  But if this is true and she was let go solely based on how she looks then that is disgusting. Women have worked so hard to get into great positions in society and just because men cannot control their comments ( or wandering eyes) that should NEVER hinder the accomplishments women have made and positions they have strived so long to hold.
