Her coinvestors/partners were portrayed as completely apathetic to her being groped. Some of you wanted the groper named and shamed, which she didn't, but then she turns around and publicly casts a bad light on her _partners_ (who i suppose are known)? I think that's crummy.
- tptacek 12y agoThat's a pretty gymnastic attempt at victim-blaming. 9.4 from the East German judges.

But he offered us $50,000!” They stared at me dumbstruck. “What the hell?” they said. > It was a big decision to make, and I couldn’t stop questioning whether I was exaggerating what happened, or being too sensitive. But my cofounders immediately assured me that that wasn’t the case, and that we could not take the money. They said it was ridiculously inappropriate, that our relationship with him would only get worse, that we should hold out for better investors to partner with. That's not them being apathetic, that's them clearly stating that the contact was inappropriate - in response to her saying "well maybe it wasn't a big deal".
