What part of no discrimination don't you understand

From the article in the Helena Independent Record

"In a ruling released Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Charles Lovell wrote that Jo Alice Mospan, former district director of the Helena SBA office, ruined the career of Mary Conway-Jepsen, and continued to retaliate after Conway-Jepsen resigned in 1997.

The harassment, according to Conway-Jepsen and others, was because she objected to Mospan's discrimination against male employees in the Helena SBA offices."

I have to wonder, would a case of discrimination this blatant have gotten this far if it had been a man objecting to another man's blatant discrimination against women? (For that matter, would it have gotten this far in private industry, no matter who was discriminating against whom?)

On the other hand, kudos to the plaintiff, for standing up for this even in the face of suggested and actual retaliation.
