Earlier, I wrote about how I legally qualified as disabled under the Americans with Disabilities Act because of my difficulty sleeping and (in the past) because of my shyness. Amazingly, Congress recently broadened the ADA even further in response to whining by “civil-rights” groups that the law didn’t define “disability” broadly enough.
Now, a prominent lawyer has concluded that being male is a disability, too, reports the National Law Journal. “If sleep disorders and sex problems
can be used as criteria for filing disability claims, as courts have
held, “being male” could also be a legally recognized disability. So
claims Louis Solomon,
a partner and co-head of the Global Litigation Department at Proskauer
Rose, who believes ‘maleness’ is on its way to becoming a new category
for disability claims. Men, he argues, have a greater susceptibility
to certain diseases, a shorter life expectancy and a testosterone level
that predisposes them to more aggressive behavior — all factors that
could be classified as a disability.”
