Are men and women treated differently at work?

While we hear a lot about sexual harassment in the workplace, sex discrimination charges also crop up from time to time. This week, the AJC reported that a former female Atlanta police major has filed a sex discrimination lawsuit against the Atlanta Police Department. In her lawsuit, she claims that she was fired for an infraction that a male police officer also committed, but the male officer was able to keep his job.

Of course, this case is ongoing and we don’t have all of the facts yet. But do you feel in this day and age that employers still discriminate based upon gender? Have you ever been treated differently on the job by your superiors because of your gender?
