"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'.

The female who works on the women's side of the bath house facility is James's daughter, Jenny. She makes a reasonable wage and is saving for college. There are no other opportunities for her in the small town they live in.

When the city slickin' chris came to town and demanded to be soaped and scrubbe in James's bath house, James came ready with his kit of bath house condoments. When chris demanded to be soaped and scrubbed by James's daughter his soapy butt was thrown out into the street. Chris filed suit for discrimination. The local judge laughed out loud and told chris that he might have had a good assault case but discrimination ....ha ha ha ha ha (Chris was encouraged to slip quietly out of town, apparently Jenny's mother was seen buying a shot gun at the local hardware store)... At least so far in 2003, such demands are considered the fantasy of perverts. Chris plans to appeal to the state supreme court ... who knows. Chris is now on a soap box in the town square shouting Jenny soap me, soap me, scrub me, stop being such a bigot.
