“Oh, come on, David,” as if the task of good-naturedly correcting a child busy sticking Tinkertoys up his nose, while she’s attending a meeting, came with the territory into which she’s ventured.

First of all, I'm NOT of the demographic that fought duels. I'm a woman who, like most working women my age, has experienced sexual harassment, along with sexism, inequity in salary and promotions, racism, and more. And I think the fact this board member was forced to resign is absolutely ridiculous. Have we become such a continent of crybabies that one indiscreet lame joke is enough to lose your job???!!!! This response takes away from the seriousness of REAL harassment and discrimination. Arianna Huffington handled this in exactly the right way. Slap down a stereotyping remark? Yes, of course. But, this level of vitriol? 'Oh, come on, snowflakes!'
