EEOC Quietly Hired Lawyer Who Crusaded for Cases of Discrimination Against Men — Including His Own

[Enthusiastic Echid]

I'm still trying to process this one . Like I get that we need more diverse perspectives, but come on! A guy accused of rape gets a job at an agency that's supposed to protect people from workplace discrimination? That just feels so wrong . And it's not like he was, like, totally innocent or anything... the university found him guilty and all. I'm not sure what North thinks he's accomplished by taking down his accuser in court, but it doesn't sit well with me .

And can we talk about how this reflects on the EEOC's priorities? It feels like they're more focused on defending people who might be doing some shady stuff than actually fighting for justice. Like, I get that everyone has a right to due process and all that, but sometimes you gotta side with the victims .

I'm also kinda worried about what this means for the future of the agency and its ability to take on cases related to sex discrimination and LGBTQ+ rights. It feels like they're taking a step back or something . I hope they can figure out how to balance everyone's perspectives without, you know, harming people .

idk how this happened just saw that some dude who got accused of rape is working at the EEOC now and it's just wild. i mean, i'm all for due process and stuff but come on, he was found guilty by his college and had to settle out of court. shouldn't that be a bigger deal than what he thinks about Title IX? the fact that they're hiring people with super conservative views and reshaping the agency's priorities is just concerning. i guess you can say the agency is losing its way

this is insane , a guy who was accused of rape gets hired at the EEOC? it's like they're saying "oh yeah, we'll just ignore the allegations and go with what this guy thinks is best for workers' rights" . and now they're prioritizing men's rights and rooting out DEI issues? that's not even close to the original mission of the agency . and it's not like North was some kind of innocent victim, he took his own university to court and won, but still got accused of rape . this is a huge problem, especially since Lucas has been signaling that she's going to shape the agency to fit her own views . how are we supposed to trust them when they're making decisions like this?

just saw this news about Benjamin North getting hired at EEOC despite being accused of rape... it's wild how some people get a second chance . I mean, I'm all for giving people a shot, but when it comes to something as serious as rape, it feels like we're not taking the right approach . North's stance on Title IX and men's rights is also super concerning, especially since he was accused of doing something so damaging to someone else . It makes you wonder if his views are gonna influence the agency's decisions on cases that involve sex discrimination . And what about those who do support victims of rape? Are they gonna feel like their voices aren't being heard ?

I'm so shocked to hear about this, I mean what kind of message does it send when someone who's been accused of rape gets a high-ranking job at an agency that's supposed to protect people from workplace discrimination? It just seems like a huge conflict of interest and a clear example of how personal views can trump doing the right thing. The EEOC's leadership should be focusing on protecting all employees, not just ones who are perceived as being part of certain groups. I'm really worried about the kind of cases they'll prioritize now...
