"He outlined a few specifics — I’d taken two to three days to give feedback to his presentation. My energy level in our last meeting had given him pause. But even when I pressed for more detail, he reiterated that it wasn’t just one particular thing but rather a general sentiment that had accumulated with time. Despite our signed offer, he had already accepted another position. This was goodbye."
If that's the only evidence I'm allowed to read from the writer, then I'm missing how that could construed as sexism.
In my opinion articles like this further entrench any sexism that is out there.
I, for example, am admittedly sexist. This doesn't mean I would never hire a woman, or even have a bias towards a man over a woman. What it does mean is, I believe with great certainty that men and women on average have tendencies. Males are not guaranteed to, but are statistically more likely to commit violent crime and other such things, so I can't understand how so many believe it is impossible that females are likewise statistically more likely to exhibit certain traits. And one tendency that in my experience women tend to exhibit more frequently than men is towards victimhood. Too often, if something doesn't turn out their way, they chalk it up to sexism, or some other conspiracy, when usually it's just simple bad luck.
