The weird thing is there's no actual denial of anything in the medium post by Horvath:

> "That blog post has nothing to do with my job, the quality of my work, or what kind of coworker I was. People reading that should wonder why any of those things are relevant to me being harassed and HR sitting idly by. Would this happen to a man in the same situation? No."

Addressing the distraction: if a man said a woman reverted his code because he wouldn't sleep with her, and withheld they were in a relationship, then yes, that would be relevant and should be raised.

Unlike what ValleyWag claims though, that's not actually a denial.
