If a law discriminates against  men of a state, stating that they cannot speak unto spoken unto by a woman?

Probably neither. Obviously the law would be in violation of the first amendment, and thus the court would have to analyize the law using strict scrutiny.

I sure hope not.  There should never be any governmental interference in speech that is offensive or hate filled.  Only when there is clear evidence that the speech is a direct threat towards an individual should the law be able to take any action. If people could be jailed for offending, we all would be wearing prison uniforms.

Before you asked this question, I never heard of this law. I looked it up and this is very interesting. This law is only in India, correct? It seems as if men are the victims from this law.\n\nFrom once men could have it worse than women? Who knew?

Here's both sides of the argument for you.\n\n"Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church” (1 Corinthians 14.34-35, NIV).\n\nThe above verse, and a few other verses from Paul are the scriptures those opposed to women preachers use. Notice, however, that very few churches actually follow the ENTIRE verse which says that women should not even be allowed to speak.\n\nThose who believe women should be allowed to be preachers use the following verse from Acts as a support their argument:\n\nIn the last days it will be, God declares,that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.\n\nIt would also be accurate to translate prophesy as preach. So, according to this passage, God will pour out his spirit on men and women and they will preach.\n\nAlso consider Galatians 3:28\n\nThere is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.\n\nAlso consider the fact that there were 3 women prophets in the Old Testament. I can only remember 2 of them right now, Miram and Deborah.\n\nNot a simple answer is it? You can see what a tough argument it is.\n\nPersonally I believe that Paul's answers reflect the culture of his time. Of of my mentors is a woman minister, as is my wife. I identify with a group of Baptists that supports women in ministry called the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.\n\nI've given you some info, so you can make up your own mind.

It prevents most kinds of hearsay evidence. The defendant must be able to confront the person who is supposed to have said various things. There are many exceptions to this rule.

It's important to remember that the freedom of speech does NOT mean you can say anything, anywhere, at any time.  \n\nFirst, there are forms of speech that are NOT protected at all.  Threats and obscenity are two prime examples.\n\nSecond, freedom of speech is guaranteed in PUBLIC spaces ONLY.  Private institutions can limit speech at any time.  In fact, the Constitution says that the government cannot enact laws that limit speech.  That's the extent of the guarantee.  Private institutions may limit speech in ways they deem fit.\n\nThat's why you can be fired for complaining about your boss, for example.  \n\nIn addition, if a local restaurant doesn't want you reading some Ku Klux Klan materials, they can ask you to put it away or leave the premises.  \n\nThey can also force you not to protest in their parking lot or refuse to let you hand out political pamphlets to their customers.\n\nSo, onto academic institutions.  I THINK (not entirely sure about this) that PUBLIC academic institutions can still limit speech that they deem counter to academic goals.  (So, for example, a high school newspaper would be discouraged from publishing racist materials.)  Other than that, they cannot limit speech.\n\nPrivate institutions have no legal obligation to allow all forms of speech.  Religious universities, for instance, can demand that their students follow a behavioral code that includes speech/words that are "off limits."\n\nHope this helps!

When a woman doesnt say what she means.

LOL.  I love your question.  Thankfully, Christians choose to ignore those laws.  We tend to pick and choose what to follow from the Bible.  And the next time one of them says something like, "I only discount the law of the Hebrews in the Old Testament, but homosexuality is still wrong in the New Testament," (stated so by Paul, not Jesus) mention the women-are-inferior thing in 1 Corinthians 11:3-10.  I don't know many modern churches that force women to wear a veil.  Personally, I follow Jesus ("love your neighbor"), not Paul (writer of 1 Cor).

The stock answer is that the law in this matter should cut both ways. Rea;ity is that this is not always the case. Some will find it hard to believe that any man can be offended by the actions you describe, so be ready for some flack if you go through with filing a complaint. Realize that to make your position unassailable that you should first let your boss know that you find her actions totally inappropriate. If she persists drive on and do what you have to do.

I think that would be considered discrimination.  Talk to a lawyer.

Women getting the same rights as men.

In most states, that would NOT be legal, it would be considered a sexual assualt in some jurisdictions.\nIn any case, you do not want to give this person a valid reason to say terrible things if someone asks for a reference, or to file a complaint with law enforcement.\nLet it go.

Depends....are you in a race state? If you can't answer that question, find a lawyer.

No, it is because of woman's lib, and the laws which protect them, and also give them the right to be 'MEN'

Not without their permission  (that means permission of both (or all) parties in the call).\n\nThe exception could be granted by a court order.

It is condescending yes, and if it was done in another country it would be appalling.However, it is part of their religion and you have to respect that. I do believe though, that it is demeaning to women that they are forced to cover up as they are seen as a temptation to man, if the men are so much more superior to women in these countries, you think that they(the men), would also have the power to control their own sexual urges and lack of ignorance.
