Should get involved. That is discrimination of the worst sort.

I found a book at my son's house and the C-word was the title. It's his SO's book. I didn't have time to read it. They said it was about empowerment. The word had other meanings at its origin apparently.

Hope she can shake off the feeling of being demeaned in that manner. I'd be suing for the counciling money, it will take, to restore her self esteem. Nobody wants to be called lazy, either.
