On: Julie Ann Horvath Describes Sexism and Intimidatio...

Yeah, I found that to be the oddest part; that after so much bullshit, that was the last straw. It was almost too anti-climatic of an ending to this sexism/crazy-founder/wife tale.

Agreed though, completely 100% justified in getting out of that shit, glad the story got told as well.

The "last straw" literally means a last small thing, FYI.

Isn't that how I used it?

[greenrd → ZoF]

Yes, but a last straw is by definition a small thing, so of course it's going to be a small thing. Real life is not a novel.

Ahhhh, gotcha gotcha, rereading it I completely see what your point was.

In fact I'm pretty embarrassed to not have parsed your meaning the first time, my initial thought was just that I had misused the phrase in some way.
