Richard has persistently, willfully ignored the impact of his sexist behavior
ppl who write that sort of thing are unhinged, witch-burning monkeys from the dark ages. Anybody who uses the word 'sexist' should be completely ignored, or spat upon. Or both.
But it's apparently "horrifying, absolutely horrifying": Finance Conference Outraged After Billionaire Ken Fisher Shocks With Crude Sexual Remarks https://www.zerohedge.com/health/billionaire-ken-fisher-offends-financial-co... ... billionaire Ken Fisher - whose firm manages more than $100 billion (for now, at least) - shocked attendees when he compared gaining a client's trust to "trying to get into a girl's pants," ... Doubling down on his jarring remarks, Fisher also noted that executives who were "not comfortable talking about genitalia should not be in the financial industry." ... Fisher referenced dropping acid and likened his employees to cattle who needed to be branded. Alex Chalekian, founder of Lake Avenue Financial, posted a video on Twitter calling the remarks “absolutely horrifying.” Chalekian conceded that "the way the summit is set up, it’s meant to allow many of these icons in the industry to be comfortable, and talk among their peers" before continuing by saying "But I just had to open up and mention how disgusted I am." I'm truly disgusted. pic.twitter.com/SKb3dYLV5h — Alex Chalekian (@AlexChalekian) October 9, 2019 Sonya Dreizler, a consultant who attended most of the fireside chat, added: "Since this content is not about business issues, I’m choosing to break that code of privacy to confirm that the comments from the stage indeed were outrageous.” ... After reports of Fisher's comments made their rounds on Wednesday, Fisher followed up by telling Bloomberg: “I have given a lot of talks, a lot of times, in a lot of places and said stuff like this and never gotten that type of response. Mostly the audience understands what I am saying.” “I regret I accepted that speech invitation because it was kind of a pain in the neck,” he continued. "I wonder if anybody will be candid at one of these Tiburon events again.” ... when asked what he would have done differently in his life, he said he would “have more sex.”
