My Facebook home page was full of raging females sharing this story and twitter was going crazy with ladies in lab coats ridiculing this man when the story broke. I have yet to see one female on my Facebook apologise or share this TRUE story on Facebook and no ladies in lab coats twittering about how wrong they were to ridicule this man, and cause a shitsorm that got him fired... No female campaign to get #get-him-his-job-back

To be fair to the "raging females", the full context of the quote has not hit the metaphorical fan like the shortened version did. I've posted it on my own page and asked for responses...I'll see what happens. Having worked in environments where the attitude he was joking about was the norm, I understand why it was such a hot-button topic. I find the extended version of the quote less inflammatory (obviously), but I still think it was in poor taste especially given his influence in the field.

Yeah, I suppose I just feel bad for the guy. I'm sure most people have said dumb things and immediately though "wtf did I just say." I joined a new company and when I was introduced to one of the lady's I asked her when her baby was due, she replied "I'm not pregnant I just have a large stomach" I felt like shit and apologized profusely to her. She laughed it off and ended up helping me a lot with my new job. She could have raged but didn't as she understood I was sorry and didn't mean to be a dick to her. So it's a bit shitty when someone get so much crap for what I percieve a bad joke.

What the hell happened? The article linked was spotty at best.
