I was thinking the same thing. How do we know that the author of this article was not being overly sensitive. These days there are a lot of overly sensitive people trying to make life seem like women and minorities are just as oppressed as they were in the 1950's when in fact they are actually being treated like everyone else. I'm a woman and I have never experienced sexisim. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I've never  experienced or witnessed it personally. But I have seen a lot of hot heads get riled up over nothing at all.
