The resolution of tension is in the following. I do empathize with complaints related to sexual harassment in the workplace, them being under pressure due to “unreasonable” norms etc.
I however absolutely detest lying or soft peddling the truth or refraining from asking hard and important questions, simply because they affect some people’s political sensibilities. I have little regard for such political sensibilities that subvert the quest for the truth.
So yes, a woman who complains of sexual harassment in the workplace is not one I would characterize as whiny; a woman who claims that Larry Summers’s talk was sexist is certainly one I would characterize as whiny and finding sexism where there is none.

I hope I’ve made my point clear.
