I read the beginning of it now. It certainly sounds as if they were angry at each other. What do you think: they called her a whore just because she is a woman? I don't like people who call women whores. As I said, I also don't like the mob mentality on display here. I am sure all those things didn't happen just because she is a woman, there has to be some history. While it would never occur to me to call somebody a whore, I wonder how many people here who were ever in a relationship before never had a fight with their partner and never said anything mean to them? Of course washing dirty laundry in front of the company is completely stupid and out of place. Still - what is the appropriate punishment? And you haven't answered: what makes you think I hate women? I wonder how the typical co-founder ousting among male co-founders plays out. Do they typical just "agree to disagree" and stay friends? Or do they sometimes call each other names and start hating?

>>What do you think: they called her a whore just because she is a woman? I am sure all those things didn't happen just because she is a woman, there has to be some history. That's not the point. The "history" does not matter in this context. At all. She was discriminated against only because she is a woman. This is all over the evidence presented. They denied her co-founder status despite the fact that it was her marketing efforts that made Tinder successful. Joe Munoz, the guy who made the app, wrote to her: “I credit you 100% with the growth of Tinder and I think that sending you around the US to visit sororities was absolutely the best investment we could possibly have made on the marketing side.” >>While it would never occur to me to call somebody a whore, I wonder how many people here who were ever in a relationship before never had a fight with their partner and never said anything mean to them? Again, that's not the point. Calling her a whore during a private conversation outside of work would have been the couple's business. Calling her a whore at work, in front of other people, made it a hostile work environment. We also have evidence that the guy abused his authority and threatened to have her terminated. >>And you haven't answered: what makes you think I hate women? Maybe "hate" is a too-strong word. You just sound grossly ignorant. You seem to believe that people are demonstrating "mob mentality" and defending her simply because she's a woman. Whereas if Wolfe was Marteen's superior and subjected him to the same treatment, it would have been equally objectionable and illegal.

  "They denied her co-founder status despite the fact that it was her marketing efforts that made Tinder successful" And that claim is proven because they called her a whore? Or how? The "I credit you 100%" statement is not really the same thing, and anyway might have been made at a different time in a different context. But I must admit I didn't read all the 70 pages. In any case, why not wait for the verdict of the court? You have only seen the claims made by one side.

    >>In any case, why not wait for the verdict of the court? Since the evidence is so overwhelming, it is very unlikely that it will come to a courtroom battle. The most probable outcome at this point is a settlement out of court.

      Well that would be the equivalent to verdict of the court. Another question that came to mind: if they fired her out of sexism, why did they co-found with her in the first place? Did they only get sexist overnight?
