"And again, if he doesn't want to do the job, find one he wants to do. There is no guarantee that a person has a right to whatever job they want if they also demand that the business change the rules of the job to suit him- or her-self.

There are several problems with the logic here.

First: you are assuming that you have a definition for the job that the person does not qualify for. Since we were talking about a free-lance bath house, the person who created the service defines "the job" not you. He wants the job that he created and is successful at, you declared him unfit for it on no grounds what so ever.

Second: There was no declaration about having a right to the job. The free lance business owner created a bath house business with separate facilities for women and men. He is happy and able to have a female soaper, scrubber, and towel person. You declared that he should be forced to soap women on demand from the customers or lose his business.

I think this comes pretty close to the mojo scenario. The analogy is useful and clarifying. Maybe people will respond better to it...especially if we name the proprietor 'James'.
