Women reported it, right? The Times article describes it. Women seeking jobs were propositioned and then denied jobs after rebuffing, sexist comments were made while they were fund raising and suggestive texts were sent. It doesn't seem like rape level stuff but it's still bad and unacceptable.
It's never a good idea to approach someone romantically if there is some kind of superior/subordinate relationship. it just seems really messy with some sort of VC type relationship too, maybe almost a worst case scenarios.
- neom 9y agoWhy in gods name is RAPE the bar we hold ourselves to regarding how we treat others????? I'm actually sick to my stomach reading HN this evening.
- TheCondor 9y agoJust to be real clear, I don't think that's the bar. I think it's sick what happened. One of the parents was asking about the details and asked if it was rape or whatever and I tried to answer. I'm not in any way, shape, or form condoning or down playing what has happened here
