C'mon. Have you ever read a published interview? Do you think even a non-trivial percentage of people speak in complete sentences, with mostly-correct grammar? Seriously?

For what it's worth, I call myself a feminist and at this point I really super don't give a shit about this controversy. PG isn't my favorite, and hanging this whole thing on a single word in a single sentence seems fraught. If that's his fig leaf, he's entitled to it.

Call it a misunderstanding, miscommunication, whatever. It's a distraction from the actual issue under discussion, the dearth of women in tech and what we as an industry can do to fix it.
