She didn't throw him under the bus. You didn't read the article did you?
It is a long but worthy read.
I think it is indicative of how the #metoo movement has impacted how we see the world.
Many of the behaviors she talks about not noticing or really registering at the time as being inappropriate, were common behaviors. WE -- men and women -- feminists, chauvinists, and folks who wouldn't identify with either -- were so use to that kind of stuff it didn't even register.
The #metoo movement had me reflect on how often in the work place, men were inappropriate. I started working in an office at 17 and it was just part of the office environment (I'm sure it wasn't just offices). I didn't object, react, quit, because it was just so much a part of the world.
Now -- this #metoo movement we all look back and realize just how pervasive some of these behaviors were in our society.
We are at a turning point and this kind of article isn't mean to slam John Hughes but to show how it was so ingrained in our lifestyles we didn't even see it.
From why I’ve seen, a man talking to a woman the same way he would do anyone else is now sexual harassment

If you seriously believe this I suggest you tread lightly in your workplace or you could find yourself in trouble.
But women understand completely what the poster you were responding to is talking about, because we have experienced it throughout our lives. If you are not a woman, and you are not willing to be open minded and attempt to put yourself on the other side of the kinds of comments and behaviors we have had to put up with for years, then no, you will never get it. To absolutely no one's surprise.
The whole damn point of the movie is that deep down, people are more than the outward appearance they portray to the world.

Besides, it’s a movie. We watch movies about cannibals, hookers, and other people a lot worse than Bender. It’s not like movies promote the behavior of the characters. There are people like Bender out there, so are we supposed to pretend they dont exist? She needs to relax.
