I'll say again as you appear to have missed it the first time:

"Any professional in her situation, male or female, would have spoken up if they had a problem. Period."

There are no exceptions to this rule. This is not male/female issue. If a male had written that article I would say the exact same thing.

This is a very culturally biased view of what "professional" means. You would probably get a different response if you were to go outside America. (this is more an argument against the "no exceptions" part of your point above)
