There is some evidence that this so-called comfort factor may not change significantly until younger men who have spent their careers working alongside competent women begin to run major U.S. companies. Among the men in the Harvard Business Review survey, those age 40 or younger were more likely to say that they would feel comfortable working for a woman boss...
...Walker was described during his sentencing. He was made to seem like an insolent little boy, casually "grinning" at his wife and sister and not taking his fate seriously.

On the one hand, it was a comfort that that version was returned unharmed. On the other, nobody seems to have learned anything from the first theft.
