Really? She may have been entirely justified in what she said, but the way she said it was appalling.
She casually tossed in the sexism card, and she is incapable of keeping her voice down. Even if she had fair points to make, no boss or colleague is going to be impressed by someone who can only make themselves heard by behaving like a petulant five-year old.
As I've said elsewhere, I'm not saying she wasn't right but I really do have a problem with the way she brought up the sexism issue.
The edit certainly makes Zee look sexist, but remember that we are only ever shown one angle of the narrative. In the scene we see in the car where Zee ignores Natalie, maybe she'd spent the previous 10 minutes offering silly suggestions or being aggressive towards Zee, which might have caused him to ignore her the way he did. I'm not saying that's what happened - and a lot of Zee's other behaviour did not help his case one iota - but it *could* have happened.
I think it would have been entirely justified for Natalie to question why her contributions were ignores, but to just jump in and cry sexism was a bit off. As a man in the business world, I have worked with female colleagues whose opinions I don't rate or Indian colleagues who I haven't enjoyed working with. That doesn't make me a sexist or a racist. If a female colleague approaches me in private and asks me why I chose to ignore a suggestion of hers in a meeting, I would of course take time to explain why. If she were to stomp her feet in a meeting in front of other people and accuse me of being a sexist, that's a whole different ball game.
