Right, but if you were a boss and a member of your team published it, would you fire him? Why or why not?

I don't find rehashing the wisdom of his decision to speak his mind as important as how everyone else responds to it. That's where the real controversy is.

If I already had several cases due to hiring discrimination against women breathing down my neck, and this person would at the worst point in time publish an article that casts a shadow over every hiring process he has ever been involved in, yes, I'd definitely fire him.

This person didn't publish an article, though. It was shared internally with (presumably) a receptive group of coworkers.
