They tried to ham up the fact he was 6 foot and she was smaller and pregnant, but the key issue is that a manager harassed a worker. In this case the manager was female, the worker male. Physical size means nothing because as soon a anyone (male or female) is physical with a manager (male or female) that's a sackable offence.

> Manager Joe O'Halloran didn't bother checking the CCTV as he presumed 'as a heavily pregnant woman Ms Francis was quite vulnerable and would have avoided any form of physical altercation at all costs to protect her baby'.

No. I think you will find that women will often put themselves in harms way because any form of physical contact from a male will result in total punishment and the man made an example of....

Physical confrontation with pregnant women? Your life is OVER as you know it in todays world. All other facts / information would immeidatly become irrelevent.

Often women put them in a martyr style position. Quit often they will strike a man and they say things like "Never hit a women" and event tease men that they cannot use a physical response even if the man is basically getting a beating....

This is often domestic violence when its female on male in a nut shell.

Mr O'Halloran told the tribunal: 'I'm merely saying that [it was] someone who is a larger person, Mr King, versus a smaller person...

Store manager Lee Murphy claimed he did not think Ms Francis was 'threatening at all'.

That's like not investigating a sexual abuse complaint because the alleged perpetrator doesn't look "rapey".

'Ms Francis was in a vulnerable position... [It is] reasonable to assume that someone wouldn't want to put herself in harm's way.'

We have priuses playing the breaking game with 40 footers.

She should be charged for false imprisonment.

Ugh them ignoring his complaint with that reasoning is absurd. But not unheard of. Somehow I think if too many of these lawsuits start effecting women in power, they will figure it how to tweak the law to only harm men again.

An angry female manager attacked my office door, I wouldn't open it. I sued and retired. That wasn't all there was to it but that was the seed that started the law suit.

Seems correct to reference this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKrIEOOkC1A

if it were a woman, the payout would have been 4.7million

I am glad the judge saw sense. What I am pissed off about is the tone and 'quotation marks' being used to scoff at the idea.
