Reflecting on one very, very strange year at Uber

Because challenging someone to "justify" why they feel sexually harassed is inappropriate?

Yes, that's my feeling too. It's inappropriate to even wonder if the person complaining was in fact harassed.

And that leads to a country where every manager is absolutely terrified to be accused because they know they'll be automatically guilty.

In the OP case, the manager clearly behaved completely foolishly, but i have actually met people in some offices that were into open relationships, and talked extremely freely about sex, just like any other subject ( though he did have some weird behaviors, but it didn't prevent people at the office from working with him). I wonder if that Uber guy wasn't like that.

1. He was propositioning her; not just "initiating a topic".

2. That person was her manager, which changes the picture altogether (see this comment by 'calcsam: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13682117)

The manager must be an amazing 100x manager. I cannot imagine why his fellow managers and superiors would keep him around.
