Lawyer objects to ''curvy women'' being present in court

    Another example of how gender equality is an illusion in 2011. Ladies, If you have assets, don't dare cross this guy....:eek: Its a pitiful insult, tbh.
    A Chicago lawyer has accused a busty woman of deliberately distracting the jury in court.

    The woman, a paralegal assistant for the opposing lawyer, was sitting at the counsel's table when the objection was raised. Attorney Thomas Gooch believed his rival was using her as an unfair tactic, The AP reports.

    Gooch claimed that her purpose was simply to "draw the attention of the jury away from the relevant proceedings" and requested that the woman be moved to the public gallery.

    He said: "Personally, I like large breasts.''

    "However, I object to somebody I don't think is a qualified paralegal sitting at the counsel table - when there's already two lawyers there - dressed in such a fashion as to call attention to herself."

    Opposing attorney Dmitry Feofanov dismissed Gooch's claims, saying that the woman was entitled to sit at the table as she has previously been paid as a paralegal in two court orders.

    Gooch responded: "That's not a qualification. That means Dmitry handed up a bill to a judge that said 'paralegal' on it."

    The trial was for a dispute over a used car.

    It sounds like he was complaining about her wearing revealing clothes rather than her figure.

    That's hardly the point.

    The mere hint of tits can be distracting.

    Well she's obviously dressed for this photo to cover up her chest but the clown glasses are actually pretty distracting in their own right

    One guy makes a horrible bullying comment towards one womean and all of a sudden gender equality is an illusion.

    Its this kind of nonsense gives decent feminists a bad name.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,473 ✭✭✭✭Super-Rush


    He's dead right to object. Its fcuking digraceful the way some women flaunt their goods these days.

    I could be out walking the dog one evening and i'll see what i know to be a glorious pair of funbags bouncing violently in the distance as some yummy mummy power walks towards me. I try to fight it, but my eyes have decided not to listen to my brain anymore, and as we get closer and closer i become transfixed by the hypnotic rhythm of those puppies jiggling and bouncing.........Then BAM........ Without warning my bollox almost explodes because i've walked into one of those stupid fcuking steel bollards that are exactly at testicle height.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Standman


    Fúcking hell! All the time, money and energy mafia bosses must have wasted on bribing and intimidating witnesses when all they needed was a large pair of chats on display in the courtroom.

    Dosn't really have anything to do with gender equality at all now does it? Be honest.

    One lawyer has an opinion, another lawyer has a different opinion. they are making arguments to reinforce their opinion and the judge decides who is correct.

    It dosn't really reflect on any situation outside of that particular courtroom at that particular time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,023 ✭✭✭Fukuyama


    Funny puns aside...

    Your assertion that gender differences havn't been settled based on this shoddy article is laughable.

    And typically with a big profiled top on them to act as a hammer. Perfect.

    If anything he is promoting gender quality, raising an objection to her being there as a pair of tits.
    dressed in such a fashion as to call attention to herself.

    On that note we will have to agree to disagree. If gender differences had been settled at large in 2011 a case like this would never have been reported on in the first place. I think it's shocking a lawyer, of all people, would make such a remark in a court of law.

    A friend of mine was breastfeeding her baby, she was seated in a hospital corridor, and a nurse came over and asked her to move as she was apparently 'upsetting some of the male patients'.
    Aww... Poor guys.
    Must be a truly awful experience.

    I genuinely think there should be a law against that.

    The baby is gonna be more upset about being hungry than some pathetic excuses for men who find nature upsetting.
