The airline industry has a sexism problem. Attendant Randi Freyer is suing to change that. Via nytimes
at Frontier Airlines who today filed a lawsuit challenging the airline’s practices that systematically penalize flight crew who are pregnant or breastfeeding. I have the privilege of representing these courageous women, who have decided to speak out and tell Frontier Airlines that this type of systemic sexism won’t fly.
The situation was even worse when Ms. Freyer returned after having her second child. This time, instead of ignoring her, the company actively prohibited her from pumping on the job, insisting that she could only pump in the lavatory before takeoff or after landing and not at all on the flight deck. It took multiple requests and, ultimately, a discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to receive a list of places where she could pump while on trips.
Today’s lawsuit exposes policies and practices that, while less overtly misogynistic, still end up bringing women’s careers to a standstill as soon as they start their families. And because this type of discrimination is so firmly baked into a workplace culture, it can be much more difficult to root out.

Why Did Bernie Sanders Endorse the Extremely Gross Sexist Cenk Uygur [UPDATED]It has long been a narrative online and on Twitter that the Bernie Sanders campaign has a sexism problem. Namely, that some of his supporters, the oft-cited “Bernie Bros,” have a sexism problem. And while his campaign counts an equal number of women among its supporters as it does men, and young women in particular flock to his campaign, the Sanders campaign has struggled at times to overcome the perception that it has done too little to address the issue.
