What is the test for a plaintiff's claim that adult women are legally inferior beings who can be ordered around like servants?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Simonian v. Patterson, 27 Cal.App.4th 773, 32 Cal.Rptr.2d 722 (Cal. App. 1994):
No matter how one looks at it, the inescapable conclusion is that plaintiff's theory is premised on the antiquated notion that adult women are legally inferior beings who can be ordered around by men as though they were servants (see Theama by Bichler v. City of Kenosha (1984) 117 Wis.2d 508 [344 N.W.2d 513, 514-515] ). There is no point in permitting a trial based on an archaic legal theory that should remain dead and buried.
