Oh dear God. People are fired summarily in this manner over a joke two buddies/strangers were sharing.
If the trend continues males shall start whispering when a female comes near at a conference and maybe just ignore them or move to another place, because you never know what shall be perceived as against.
I guess the the ones who are at real risk here are the two genders. Another blow to widen the gap.
"I will be at pycon 2014, I will joke and socialize with everyone but I will also be mindful of my audience, accidental or otherwise." - [1]
Just because of one irresponsible and casual remark by a female marketer killing livelihoods of two male engineers.
What I find specially chilling and mean is - "she smiled while she snapped the pic and sealed my fate."[1]
And people being convicted without a trial is fine for Internet and troll but two companies firing away like "you are no longer welcome at this bar because you shouted at another guy outside our bar". So, taking sides and standing for someone needs just one thing - just being born in the same gender? That's it?
