ubergeeknz: Umm his comment was disgusting and incredibly sexist. He does not deserve to walk away unscathed. Even his "apology" belies the fact that he blames females for his own inability to keep things professional.

No one is saying it wasn't sexist. But who defines the level of punishment? Public opinion? He has not committed a crime, so the courts can't punish him.
Why don't we tie him up in Queen Street and let the public throw rotten fruit at him. That's basically what social media is these days.
In this case I think the punishment far outweighs the 'crime'

I didn't say anything about whether the punishment is entirely appropriate, merely that such a sexist attitude cannot be let slide without any repercussions.
