“The employee produced no evidence to back up her claims.”<p>This logic is infuriating.<p>This is a Patriarchy.<p>Claims of sexual abuse and &#x2F; or coercion should not, at first trigger, be subject to this sexist rubbish.<p>Edit: Downvotes. I would encourage the downvoters to take a serious look at the article and explain the rather glaring side step into irrelevant sexist rubbish, and how it adds or detracts from the ideology of the whole piece. Reframing, it is the sign of a company that takes sexual related concerns seriously? More importantly, why exactly does the author choose this particular series of details?<p>Still shocked and saddened that <i>some</i> people around HN have this attitude. If a woman close to you were to suggest she were raped or coerced into sex, would your first response be &quot;Show me the proof!&quot;?<p>Public statements such as this reveal the downward cultural pressures on women. This is a real thing.
