MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Jordan v. Gardner, 986 F.2d 1521 (9th Cir. 1993):
A common-sense understanding of the different experiences of men and women in this society, Ellison v. Brady, 924 F.2d 872, 879 (9th Cir.1991), leads to the inescapable conclusion that invasive searches of the bodies of female prisoners by male prison guards are harmful both because they constitute and reinforce gender subordination, and because they offend our basic values and our concepts of human dignity.
