> The hula hooping moment was important because it visibly demonstrated her male coworkers lack of respect for women as people. Maybe hula-hooping is a common occurrence in Silicon Valley offices, but if my co-workers would be hula-hooping I would be looking as well (regardless whether they are male or female). Probably I would be thinking 'why on earth are you hula-hooping in you workplace instead of working'. I guess there is a fine line between gawking and looking. Don't get me wrong - the entire situation she describes sound horrible but the hula-hooping did not sound very professional in the first place.
