Yes. This story doesn't pass   the smell test.  There is so much left unsaid as vague accusations somebody somewhere did something  that was somehow offensive. IF the crime was so bad that it drives her away in tears, it warrants reporting. But it will simply be added to the  bonfire of alleged sexist crimes all men are guilty of.  Why is the Globe so disinterested in the rest of the story? Perhaps because the rest of the story contradicts this part.
