I doubt that Richard Green had any malicious intentions in his comments; it was probably an innocent mistake. If you look at the literal meaning of what he wrote, you can see that he probably wanted to highlight the diversity. But I don't think you can deny that the wording he chose has unfortunate connotations and I think it's worth pointing that out because those connotations, while subtle and subjective, are real and they can be harmful. I think at the very least we can agree that they have harmed the image of evvnt, which is the opposite of what he intended.
No one is suggesting that women don't like to work together. It's that we don't want to work in a place where the men subconsciously think of us as a temptation, a reward, a decoration, or a commodity. That's the impression that Green's post gives, even though I'm sure that's not what he intended. Does that make sense? I can try to explain better if you have questions.
