You do understand it, you just refuse to understand it.

But to answer your question, yes. If enough women were affected that they felt compelled to step out, and men didn't, that's clearly a gender bias issue.

Would you please stop posting in the flamewar style to HN? You've done that repeatedly in this thread, including crossing into personal attack. That helps nothing and only makes this place worse, regardless of how bad another comment is or how right you feel you are.

Yeah, it's almost as if I lived in that "but what about men's issues?" bullshit a few years previously. The only difference between us two is that I snapped out of it.

Glad we agree!

A woman? No, sorry, try again.

Here's an article[0] from October. Relevant quote:

> After publication of this article, Sundar Pichai, Google’s chief executive, and Ms. Naughton wrote in an email to employees that the company had fired 48 people for sexual harassment over the last two years and that none of them received an exit package.

Unless you believe that 48 people were fired for sexually abusing the exact same woman, the problem is a bit more... shall we say widespread?

Google has over 100k employees or even more if you count temps. 24 per year means that around 0.024% gets fired for harassment per year which is extremely low, many cities have higher murder rate than that. So it is not a sign that there is a huge problem, on the contrary the number is so low that I'd suspect that they cover up a lot of things,
