I'm not sure I fully understand the point he was trying to make? Was it a dig at Huffington not adding value?

Listening to the audio, he's saying it in jest and Huffington laughs along (albeit nervously since it wasn't a funny joke). It's just reinforcing a stereotype that women tend to talk a lot.

Interesting, thanks for clarifying. Yeah the quotation on its own was unclear what point it was even trying to make.

It was a verbal version of these cheeky bathroom doors:

Not so cheeky coming from this person at that time and place, though.

Thanks that helps. Seems like one misstep after another with this company but sounds like he did the right thing in resigning.

it would _seem_ that his attempted defense is that he claims he was trying to say "having more women on the board would lead to more discussion" -- but that appears to be his defense, it is unknown if that defense would actually be true at all...
