E. Pao and Brendan Eich are the two polar examples why the word 'harassment' has lost its meaning.
- j_baker 11y agoYou're not trying to say the two are comparable are you?
- return0 11y agoIn what way are they not?
- vruiz 11y agoObjectively? Pao was criticised for her present actions while at the job, Eich because someone pointed at his past.
- return0 11y ago... and he did a good job for years while she doesn't have much to show. What's your point? edit: i figure u re saying one was harassed more than the other?
- vruiz 11y agoI was just answering your question. Some might think that context matters. As in, what happened to Pao just comes with the job while what happened to Eich was purely personal.
- kolbe 11y agoHa. Maybe we need language to evolve the way we now have "rape" and "rape rape." I propose "harassment" and "har-fucking-rassment."
- corin_ 11y agoNot sure what circles you hang around with if you often find the need to differentiate between different levels of rape..
- jodah 11y agoFrom my reading, this wasn't about harassment. It was about missteps, many of them. Needless to say, her various apologies were not spurred by harassment.
