[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I travel 50% for work, much of which is international. An assignment came up that would require travel to a place that was not the safest local, especially as a woman traveling alone. My boss brought it up and mentioned that he wouldn't recommend I take it, I agreed, and I was very appreciative that I didn't have to ask for a travel exemption.

Truth is there are still many places in the world that are unsafe to travel as a woman alone. Trust me, your boss was doing you a favor. [/quote]

It was Eastern Europe, not the Sudan. [/quote]

Also, PPs boss brought it up and gave PP the option and some say in the matter.  Huge difference between that and a boss unilaterally deciding on a woman's behalf that she can't go due to her gender.  [/quote]

Sorry, no. The boss determines who gets what assignments. That's why he's the boss. He made a stupid joke, yes, but it sounds like she was't going to get it anyway regardless of gender. He was looking for an excuse. It's crummy, yes, but it's still his prerogative. [/quote]

Nope, bosses do NOT have prerogative to make discriminatory decisions based on gender.  Not how it works.  The only reason he gave OP was her gender.  Seriously, what is the matter with you?[/quote]
