I understand the lament of the white hetero christian male. Some of my best friends are WHCMs...
If the wife has a high risk pregnancy the 'doctor's note' excuse you give would seem to apply. (just what does a husband do in such cases- unless he is a gyno dr???) but your example is a stretch- most miscarriages occur in the FIRST trimester- soooo you want a high risk mother to get 9 months maternity leave BEFORE giving birth? you are trying to use a rare example as the standard... again I doubt ANY company (or court) would see giving everyone a year or so maternity leave because some have high risk pregnancies. The sensible and reasonable position is allowing the one carrying our future a bit more leave with some before the magic moment and the sperm donor a period of time after he first sees the fruits of 5 minutes of fun work...
History has shown 'society' rarely uses vigilante methods to police society. Hell if 'society' could police it's own we wouldn't need professional law enforcement... :roll:
It would be a hellova society if everyone gets/has to decide what is and isn't appropriate or if self appointed groups walk the streets determining that for us. Plus I have difficulty believing any sort of 'shaming' would stop most public bigots.
Now the baker has ZERO legal leg to stand on, and allowing someone to use some religious belief to not serve whomever? talk about walking back equal rights for millions because of a few religious bigots.
No, when it comes to snowflakes most of the time they are the ones that start the whine...
