Context matters.
In the context of family and close friends, I hear jokes about men being unable to find things and the genetic inferiority of whites vis-a-vis my ability to go outside during summer without bursting into flame, etc.
However, these jokes would be totally inappropriate for a professional setting, and would be actively hurtful absent the affection that I know is behind them.
I have no idea whether Mr. Bonderman is a misogynist jerk in real life (although this raise my suspicion). What I do know is that he has completely failed to internalize the fact that Uber (and many companies) have a real difficulty with respect to their treatment of women and that alone is grounds for his resignation/dismissal.
He is simply a bad businessman.
