When Susan Fowler rocked Uber’s world with a meticulous account of the company’s sexual harassment and gender discrimination issues, the ride-sharing service turned to its only female board member to help clean up its culture (and its image). Arianna Huffington was perfectly poised to position herself as the feminist savior who would advocate for Uber’s women—she oversaw the subsequent Eric Holder investigation, and promised that “no brilliant jerks will be allowed, and no one will be protected because they are top performers.” But being a powerful woman with a stake in a company, and its profits, doesn’t mean Huffington was actually the best choice to champion women struggling to make their voices heard.

Huffington’s well-documented history of fostering a toxic work culture, and failing to address inappropriate behavior from a “brilliant jerk” in her own midst, calls into question the sincerity behind her pledge to help bring positive change to Uber’s culture.

You know what - I’ve gotten to where I simply don’t care about sexual “misconduct” any more. If no laws were broken, I no longer care. This whole thing is getting nuts.

It’s laughable.
Note: I do care if it relates to the job they are hired/elected to do.
Remember, the man after God’s own heart also murdered a man to get his wife. i.e. looking at people’s distant past is not what counts. Where they’ve ended up, character-wise is what is relevant.
these self appointed effete elite media types would be shocked and have the vapors if they discovered sex at the playboy mansion.
But its OK for demon dressed perverted trannies to twerk with children at the library...
Sexist pigs!
