Agree 100%. Some are very sensitive to sexism and political incorrectness and some just don't care/notice. Regardless, a leader should encourage community members to voice their legitimate concerns. Duncan's actions were simply immature and unwelcoming. I don't blame Oliver for leaving and hope we see a public apology from Duncan. |

In regards to 1, let me explain. First off, I've heard people use it more than once as a thing men do to/with women, as little sense as that makes to me, sort of like my female friends talking about 'ladyboners'. Second, giving head is also something men do to other men. And finally, nobody that I know considers 'giving head' in any way a degrading thing these days.
But...
That's just my interpretation, and I'm probably pretty atypical in this regard.
And regardless of how I personally feel about this, the response to this kind of thing, as a leader, should be sensitivity and willingness to make people feel 'safe', especially if there's no real cost to fixing it. It seems like common human decency to be inclusive in such a situation.
If there comes a point where this kind of inclusiveness and sensitivity actually causes problems, well then it's perhaps a more difficult situation. But this seems pretty simple and straightforward, even for someone like me who personally does not see any big harm in 'iGiveHead'
