To be fair, I don't think any Internet detective would care enough.
What really rubs me the wrong way about this article is the way it comes off as her crying wolf. It's bad for the women that actually experience proper sexism that truly limits their potential. The way I read this article is that she had a bad read on how eager her candidate was to accept the position, low-balled him on the offer and he decided he would take a better offer somewhere else. Nothing about that is sexism and yet calling it sexism is hurting the cause.
He had already accepted the offer, attened product meetings, and discussed hiring strategy for employees, then he threatened to bail at the last moment. Don't you think that's a bit flaky? Since after renegotiation, he joined the company after all, did he then flake on the anonymous other company with whom ehe had supposedly accepted a better position?
