Labor Attorneys Agree: The Adria Richards Firing Will Be Hard to Defend

232. Nothing justifies angry mobs and the author of the article made it clear

that she was horrified by the reactions on all sides.

This woman got a father of three children fired because she chose to be offended by a word. She did NOT handle it appropriately, she went to twitter, with photos of two people and wrongly identified them to make matters even worse. She overheard a bad joke and made a federal case out of it. THIS is why the women's movement is not taken seriously anymore, and it pisses ME off royally that people like her put themselves out there claiming they represent women. THEY DO NOT. Most of us can handle a bad joke. We don't get offended , and you need to face that. In real life most women are offended by THINGS THAT MATTER.

SHE went to the mob on Twitter and on her blog with something that most of us are far too mature and strong, to be bothered about, she was hoping the mob would come down hard on the men she photographed WITHOUT their permission which I think is illegal also in some states. The mob was ready as it always is and it turned on her.

If she was a responsible person, she would have known that when you go to twitter with nonsense like that, when you get a father of three fired for something so trivial, you are literally begging for what happened.

Irresponsible, childish, vindictive, and it cost someone their job and harmed a whole family. No one is going to be sympathic to that kind of extremism. And then it cost her her job.

ALL OF THIS was PREDICTABLE to anyone with half a brain cell functioning. If you don't want to stir up a mob, do not go to twitter!! That is where mobs congregate! She wanted the mob to go after those men. Women do not need this kind of irresponsible person claiming to represent them . She does not. But unfortunately now the anti-feminists will insist that she does.

Sometimes I truly believe these moronic individuals are working against women.

There are no excuses for what she did. If you don't want a reaction from a mob, it's simple, most adults understand this simple concept, DO NOT ROUSE UP a mob! Don't walk into a burning building if you do not want to get burned. How difficult IS that to understand?

Sick to death of what is being done to women by these self-professed 'feminists'.

And now that she got what she wanted why the whining? Strong women can deal with the consequences of their actions. There are no excuses for a grown woman to act the way she did. None, nor for any grown man either. As for the viciousness of the responses, well, is she so naive she did not ever see this happen before, did not think it would end that way? Please, now we women have to deal with the Rush Limbaugh ditto heads accusing ALL of us of hating men and wanting to get them fired and destroying children etc etc.

Thanks a lot to her and her defenders. She was out of line period. Protecting and trying to defend such idiocy only confirms what has gone wrong with the women's movement today.
