Apple employees petition demanding investigation into ‘misogynistic’ new hire

I don’t believe that you can make a comment as sweeping as “most Bay Area women... are so useless you could trade them for a jerry can of diesel” that doesn’t reflect a stance on all women.

There are 7.75 million people in the “Bay Area”, presumably about half women. The idea that you could believe nearly 4 million women with totally disparate histories - only united by currently living in the Bay Area and being women - are mostly useless without making sexist generalizations about women defies credibility in my view.

And I used the word “most” because his quote begins “most Bay Area women are soft, cosseted, and naive...” so you’ll have to ask him what he means by “most”.

Even more importantly IMO, Apple is located in the Bay Area! That means he's speaking about his would-be coworkers and subordinates.

I don't see how you could be a good team member if you come with these types of preconceived notions about the other people on the team.
