The corporate higher ups basically exonerated him from any wrong doing but fearing litigation and negative press, and weighing the options, decided it was in the best interest of the company to give him an early retirement.

This is why women don't get treated equally on the job -- when they do, they complain about it. Yes, that's a generalization, but it's true way too often to be simply anecdotal.
When we are equal, we will be able to be treated the same. This man was a victim of "what might happen" and the company may have lost the best, certainly the most experienced, years of his productivity.
So everyone loses. The women doesn't learn to deal on her own with all the personality types she'll find, the company loses one, perhaps two, good employees, and the man loses his job. How is this enlightened?
