He might have asked a woman during a job interview how she handled so many things on her plate.

Until I read about it here, I had no idea how sexist and offensive that question is. (I've been asked that question half a dozen times during interviews, and just let it slip by every time--because I didn't know how offended I should have been.)

But as long as we're resurrecting threads to make exaggerated public gestures of disapproval--and meting out lessons for comments made with no ill intent--maybe should cover that faux pas as well.
