So you think the Preston-Werners treated male employees that way? Sexism isn't just boys being mean to girls. It is when women are treated differently or targeted for some sort of special consideration or evaluation, just as appears to have happened in this case based on the findings of the investigator.

Actually the investigation found problems with the way they treated a range of other employees. Also, you ignored the part about them not being able to find anything in the commit history to support her most concrete charge of sexism (having her code reverted by a male who wanted to have sex with her).

  Where does it say that? It says he and his wife encouraged other employees to work on her startup, but it says nothing about the other findings relating to a "range of other employees".

  git push --force Though I'd assume they did more in depth investigations than just looking at the commit history, what with being a company that literally makes a living out of git.

    That only works if you reverted the commits almost immediately after they are pushed. With a distributed system like Git, Horvath certainly would've noticed, and anyone who pulled before the revert would've known too.

    > commit history, push log, and all issues and pull requests A force push will still show up in the log. Issues and PRs aren't deletable, so that lends a bit of credibility to this. Sure, said engineer probably has access to erase the push log and delete the issues or PRs directly from the database, but parties involved would likely still have email notifications related to it.

  The git history wasn't her most "concrete" charge of sexism. Your attitude demonstrates that you have no idea what sexism is. Her most "concrete" charge of sexism was the charge that Theresa Preston-Werner, with her husband's consent (tacit or otherwise) emotionally tormented her. And that charge appears to have been confirmed.
