Gamergate 2.0?

EVERYONE'S TALKING

• Gamergate 2.0? At the afterparty for Microsoft's official Game Developer Conference in San Francisco last week, the company hired dancers dressed in skimpy schoolgirl outfits, causing outrage and accusations that the tech giant is alienating women in an already male-dominated industry. Xbox chief Phil Spencer subsequently sent an email to his team calling the event "unequivocally wrong," while Kathleen Hogan, Microsoft's EVP of human resources, said that the company's top executives were "embarrassed and appalled" upon seeing photos of the party. Hogan also said that Microsoft will be launching an internal investigation into the matter.

Politico

• Double fault. Raymond Moore, the CEO of tennis stadium Indian Wells Tennis Garden, caused a stir on Sunday with his comments about the Women's Tennis Association. He said that female tennis players "ride on coattails of the men" and that if he were a woman, he would "go down every night on [his] knees and thank God that Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal were born."

• Finally, Fox! On Friday, Fox News issued a harsh condemnation of Donald Trump in defense of news anchor Megyn Kelly: "Donald Trump's vitriolic attacks against Megyn Kelly and his extreme, sick obsession with her is beneath the dignity of a presidential candidate," read the network's statement. The statement came after several new Trump tweets calling Kelly "crazy." Fortune

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

• Clinton's comic relief. Hillary Clinton, often criticized for being cold and standoffish, has admitted that she is not a natural politician. But, with the support of beloved female comedians like Amy Poehler, Ellen DeGeneres, and Amy Schumer, she might not have to be, argues Bloomberg's Will Leitch. "There's never been a better time to have the brightest minds in comedy all on your side. Because right now: They're all women. And they're all for Clinton." Bloomberg

• Robin moves on. Robin Chase, co-founder and former CEO of Zipcar, is credited with helping create the sharing economy, which has spawned the likes of Uber and Airbnb. She has since moved on to a new company called Veniam, which is creating what she calls "an Internet of moving things." Fortune

• I protest #mycalvins. Heidi Zak, CEO of lingerie company ThirdLove, is calling out Calvin Klein for the sexism on one of its billboards. The ad contains an "almost up-skirt shot" of actor Klara Kristin with the words, "I seduce in #mycalvins," next to a portrait shot of rapper Fetty Wap with the statement, "I make money in #mycalvins." Racked

• 'Leaning In' too far. Erin Callan, who was the CFO of Lehman Brothers before its collapse in 2008, has a new name (Erin Callan Montella) and a new life, with an ex-firefighter husband and a one-year-old daughter. The former Wall Street highflier has written and self-published Full Circle, a memoir that details her climb up the career ladder as well as the moment she hit rock bottom—and acts as a counterpoint to Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In.
