The cost of not being "woke".

Exactly, wrong time in history to not be aware of the ambient environment.
I knew nothing about Fisher before this dust up. What a pig. I'm surprised his clients stuck with him with that poor record.
Ah, the good of days when women and minorities were "no one" and we could just not give a fuck if they cared or not.
What's bullshit is anyone's insistince that they be allowed to be an asshole without consequence. You are certainly free to be an asshole and the rest of us are free to not associate with you by way of being your employer, employee, or customer when you self identify as an asshole. Which you're doing a great job of with your whining, by the way!
Silly question... but what is Steinway Lynch? (picture below)
Google didn't come up with anything.
The only reason I ask, one would assume its something to do with investing, but that font is the exact font of the piano company, Steinway and Sons. That's trademarked, (In fact they went to court about that several years ago, people bootlegging Steinway's.)
No biggie. I just happen to notice it in that picture.

Ken Fisher tried to a reassure a group of employees that they wouldn’t lose their jobs or see their pay affected by his mistakes.
On a phone call Thursday with the staff that manages institutional relationships, Fisher expressed remorse and said the business is still growing despite the loss of key clients, according to people familiar with the matter. About 20 institutions are pulling almost $3.9 billion from the firm, one of the people said.

Making a joke that is known to offend people is being an asshole, no matter if you're a man or a woman telling the joke. You're very clearly saying to everyone that whatever jollies you get from telling the joke are worth more than their discomfort. You may not think that's asshole behavior, but your definition of asshole behavior is really irrelevant if the rest of us think it is. At that point you're just displaying a lack of self awareness in addition to asshole behavior, and in any event whatever you choose to call it the fact remains that the rest of us would rather not work with, for, or around that type of behavior. So we developed a way for you to self identify and either self select out or be excluded from the day to day lives of the rest of us. And the best part is you all playing right along with the whining and outrage, and that same lack of self awareness means you seem to not even realize it!
