Yes, that's my feeling too. It's inappropriate to even wonder if the person complaining was in fact harassed.

And that leads to a country where every manager is absolutely terrified to be accused because they know they'll be automatically guilty.

In the OP case, the manager clearly behaved completely foolishly, but i have actually met people in some offices that were into open relationships, and talked extremely freely about sex, just like any other subject ( though he did have some weird behaviors, but it didn't prevent people at the office from working with him). I wonder if that Uber guy wasn't like that.

1. He was propositioning her; not just "initiating a topic".

2. That person was her manager, which changes the picture altogether (see this comment by 'calcsam: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13682117)

The manager must be an amazing 100x manager. I cannot imagine why his fellow managers and superiors would keep him around.
