Woman who gets man fired for penis joke, gets fired herself

228. So her increased level of annoyance

at hearing a second offensive remark was sufficient for her to go public with her complaint?

What you seem to be suggesting is that because she had already had a discussion once - with one man - she didn't need to do it again with a completely different person. Last time I checked, human males were not designed like the Borg - so the fact that she had "already had a discussion with another man" is really not relevant to her later action.

It's kind of like being in a market and suffering the misfortune of being smacked from behind by a cart. In your scenario, the first time it happens the sufferer might turn and ask the individual pushing the cart to be careful. Two rows over, a completely different individual smacks the sufferer again . . . and it's okay for them to turn around and spew invective, or ask the manager to have them thrown out of the store?

The offensive may be the same, but the people are different. A rational person would conclude that the level of response appropriate for the first offense is still appropriate for the second offense - not an escalation justified because they are still annoyed by the first offense.
