> anyone that has worked in an office environment with women present can attest to the fact that women still are not in equal standing with their male peers.

This is certainly not true. I've worked in many offices with women who were treated with respect, excelled at their role and were recognized as such.

If you have problems in your workplace you should report them, not generalize them to everyone's workplace.

Ellen Pao is not the figurehead any movement should rally behind. Between this and her husband's fraud, people who actually care about gender equality shouldn't have touched the case with a ten-foot pole. It was fishy business from the outset.

If MRAs see it as a victory, that's because their opponents made such a big deal out of this case. A little bit of foresight on their part would have made it a non-issue.

Regardless of how many of one group of people are mistreated, it is not a given that anyone from that group that claims mistreatment is being truthful. Sometimes people who seek attention will pick an issue that many think is beyond reproach because they know they will have a guaranteed support group. People get raped everyday and it is not very PC to question the validity of such a claim. Yet people have been found to make false rape claims. People get discriminated against everyday and it is not very PC to question it. But people have been found to fabricate (or exaggerate) stories. Usually when people come out and start to question a claim, they just get lumped into the "haters" group. They are labeled as "part of the problem." But often those questioning are the only ones that actually care about the truth.
