Debbie here: Based on federal statutory civil right law against employment
discrimination based on sexual
harassment as outlined by The FCC, it should  be clear that the complaining
said grumpy old man was indeed the  sexual harasser in this case:

In a message dated 10/4/2009 12:01:28 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, Liz
Brooks writes in <<<<...>>>>:

<<<<"*A claim of harassment* generally requires several  elements,
including:
1.  The complaining party must be a member of a  statutorily protected
class;>>>>
Debbie here: the 'female' board certified lactation  experts were clearly,
with hostile and intimidating intention, and without  legal merit, targeted
by said grumpy old man.

<<<<2.  S/he was subjected to unwelcome verbal or  physical conduct related
to his or her membership in that protected  class;>>>>

Debbie here: the group of female board certified lactation  experts who
baked said cupcakes did so with all intentions and clearly  advertised notice
that said cupcakes were to be utilized solely for the purpose  of recognizing
and celebrating the legally protected right of  breastfeeding.

<<<<3.  The unwelcome conduct complained of was based on  his or her
membership in that protected  class;>>>>>>>>

Debbie here: the group of female lactation expert members  were then
subjected to unwelcome and distressing verbal conduct of an  unexpectedly and
unwarranted *sexual* nature which was thought up in a  clearly perverse manner,
solely by said grumpy old man.

<<<<4.  The unwelcome conduct affected a term or  condition of employment
and/or had the purpose or effect of unreasonably  interfering with his or her
work performance and/or creating an intimidating,  hostile or offensive
work environment.>>>>


Debbie here: The group of female lactation expert members  were then
additionally subjected to threatening and intimidating legal  action which had no
basis in federal statutory civil right law and which had the  potential of
negatively affecting their condition of their employment, and  had the
purpose and effect of unreasonably interfering with their work  performance by
creating an intimidating, hostile and offensive work  environment.

I rest my case, ....and just made all that up for fun.
