Claire Wasserman quit her job in marketing to start Ladies Get Paid. But two events in California refused to admit men, so they filed an anti-discrimination lawsuit

In August 2016, Claire Wasserman started an organization, Ladies Get Paid, based in New York City, for women to swap career and leadership tips.

“The lack of women in leadership roles disturbed me and I was craving a space where women could support one another by openly sharing their professional struggles,” her website states. She recently produced a conference for 150 women and has over 20,000 who connect through her network.

Today, however, she faces tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees after settling lawsuits with several men who sued her organization for excluding them from its events.
The events were advertised as being for women, including trans women, and non-binary individuals. 
“I never once thought what I was doing was controversial or offensive,” Wasserman said. “I feel like my world exploded.”

In order to pay the legal fees and those settlement costs, Wasserman and her partner Ashley Louise have turned to crowdfunding. So far they have raised about $50,000 toward their $100,000 goal.

If they can’t raise the money, they’ll go out of business, Wasserman said.

Да, иногда за глупость приходится платить.
