You’re just not following the rules. Happy trails!

I happen to live around the corner from AOL’s headquarters; I used to have at least a modicum of respect for the company. I know a great many people who work there, I’ve even been a part of their corporate bowling league (had family who worked for the company a few years ago.) But now that I’ve heard about this, wow… It’s truly a shame for AOL if they’re going to let one single editor let her own personal politics get in the way of seeing great work published under the AOL banner. You were standing up for what was right and you were cut down because of it. And because of that, a part of AOL was cut down simultaneously. No doubt, the media attention that has been brought to your situation has done untold damage to AOL’s reputation, and all because of that one woman, your boss. Wow. And all over her own personal politics. It baffles the mind.
But of course, it doesn’t baffle the mind quite so much as the fact that you were fired by a woman because you stood up for women. I’d love to know how she rationalized that one in her own mind.

Anyway, that got long. I just wanted to say, I hope this all works out for the best for you. And as a woman, I just want you to know how much I appreciate seeing a man stand up for women the way you did, the way you still are. Stellar behavior like that is severely lacking in the world today. It’s really reassuring to know that there are still true gentlemen in this world who are not only willing to say what needs to be said when it comes to women, but are willing to be chastised for it yet still maintain their ground, their dignity, and the courage of their convictions. More power to you, Mr. Christopher, and thank you.

- Heather
