I'm all for the type of quitting that this article talked about, but I doubt that "routine career failures recast as 'damsel in distress harassment', stemming from rather dubious claims" is what we should aim for. Pao is no role model for me.

It fosters the impression that any female professional is a damsel in distress dependent on acts of chivalry from people who go to china and call the people there "asian-american" because they have grown up in a culture where more and more words are dangerous, frightening and forbidden.
