Our tolerance for entertainers seems to be much higher than for executives. And I doubt many in the tech world think of Dre as a "real" executive. He's there for marketing reasons, but doesn't have much oversight of the day-to-day and the damage he can do is limited. This perception might be wrong.
- callmeed 12y ago> beating up a female reporter doesn't make you a mysogynist I guess I used that phrase because that's how everyone framed the Gurbaksh Chahal incident. At least in my Twitter feed.
- pooper 12y agoI assume he'd be mysogynist if him beating the reporter was related to the reporter's gender. In any case, the ex-CEO didn't serve time so I'd say he got off pretty easily.
- arrrg 12y agoWell … in isolation you are right, but violence against women can be an expression of misogyny. Or not. It depends. (Though I would agree that focusing on that discussion is not particularly worthwhile. I would focus on the violence.)
- morenoh149 12y agoI think dre has the potential to affect things more than say how alicia keys or will.i.am affect things at their respective companies. Certainly when it comes to marketing to minorities and such.
