Regarding Ruth Marcus’s May 4 op-ed, “A stray joke and a loss of proportion”:In the 1940s and 1950s, large department stores hired employees who operated the elevators. I have made similar comments on occasion in a crowded elevator. An apology was not necessary. Stop undermining those with serious issues of misogyny and abuse. Jan Allnutt, Bethesda
