But isn't that what he just said? It's not sexism if someone is just shooting an idea down. Stealing the idea is morally apprehensible. Shooting an idea down because "it's you" is discriminatory. Shooting an idea down because "a woman had it", now that's sexism.
I see a lot of ppl claim sexism, and it might as well be present, even if subtly for a lot of different companies. That said, context matters, and you can be an absolute prick to ppl with out even invoking any sexism.
E.g. I hear students doing an internship often get overlooked. Not cool, some of them are geniuses. Same goes for ppl lower in the corporate ladder vs. higher in the corporate ladder.
What I'm trying to say is: let's be absolutely clear with what we define as sexism, because it shouldn't lose it's meaning by being inserted into discrimination. You don't need sexism there everytime to involve OSHA.
Also let's make this clear: if Madison's allegations are true (and she doesn't have a horse in this race so there's a good chance they are), we can straight up skip the sexism and go straight to harassment, abuse, sexual assault, and more. I hope she is able to grasp the sheer horror that this really was, because she should know that no one deserves that and ppl will support the fight in her name.
