I see what you are saying, but he wasn't 'thinking out loud', he was speaking at a conference, and I would find it hard to believe that he didn't have a prepared speech. I think this was exactly what he wanted to say, whether he realized how it sounded or not.
- cheald 12y agoHe was asked a panel question, he wasn't giving a speech.
- goodJobWalrus 12y agooh, ok, I apologize, I missed that.
- andrewstuart2 12y agoI do agree that he probably said what he meant, but I don't know that he meant what people think he meant. I'm assuming here of course, but I think he may have simply neglected to mention that his advice would be the same regardless of sex or gender. And I think his later comments support that idea.
- nmjohn 12y agoThere is a large difference between answering a question incorrectly and having it planned as part of a speech. Tell me you've never started answering a question and halfway through you start realizing the path you've started going down is not what you want to be saying. Just look at these comments on this article - he admitted his mistake and he still is being lambasted.
