Pretty sure this guy qualifies as a douchebag and not simply trying to toe the line in a politically correct world. That is, of course, my opinion - but I sure as fuck wouldn't want this sort of individual publicly representing my company and embodying sort of behavior we tolerate, embrace or promote. Reply to Below- The tweets speak for themselves. No journalism necessary.

Hmm, I remember that author from somewhere. Yep, she's a shock troop in the battle to impose cultural Marxism[1]. [1] http://valleywag.gawker.com/dear-paul-graham-your-priorities-are-so-far-out-of-wha-1228175284 http://valleywag.gawker.com/dear-paul-graham-your-priorities...

I'll agree that harassment and discrimination ... in the workplace ... is a problem. Most of all in the boys club that is IT. This guy is a bro. His boss is a douche. Business Insider is fucking horrible forum for this to play out. And twitter is free speech unless they put it in writing and compensate you for ownership of your twitter account. Like a meditative mantra... repeat after me... "Equality is for everyone, even shallow assholes." It's not illegal for me to go out with my boss who's job I want, get him trashed, and when he tries to drive home, call the cops on his ass. You might call that entrapment or just fucking scummy behavior by everyone involved. This is basically the same thing in my view.
