This one was a long time coming. I noticed this immediately when it popped up in our annual mandatory harassment training webinar a few weeks ago. 

Though it wasn't codified yet, I've seen a few people over the years, mostly men get taken into the dreaded HR office after making jokes at a fat woman's expense. This was never equal across the board though, because I've seen executives and line-employees alike laugh off jokes made at a man's expense.

In the name of equality, this is a win-win.

Chaka the old buzzard Khan had an issue with Prince's height.

"Short women like to climb" yadda yadda.

She was too busy being an addict during this time anyway.

Even with the condition Prince is in now, he didn\'t miss out on much.
