Bitter, table of one.

Here's the fun part - you don't even mean "women." Because you're not including women who are gay, asexual, or attracted to something other than the George Clooney type. I'm gonna go way, way out on a limb and narrow that down to women = women that are attractive. Before you argue that point, ask yourself "Am I really including non-sexually viable women?"

False dilemma. Ladies should make the decision to attend on any number of factors. But, pretending that TAM is more dangerous than similarly-themed events seems suspicious, imo.

depends. Is touching her elbow my first interaction that shows any form of physical interest? If so, I think it does cross the line. It certainly invades someone's personal space a fair bit. If it comes after a ten minute conversation where we're getting on famously, then that's a different thing.

Thank you, just formulated some odd thinking that was actually going on in my mind in some situations. Excuse me while I now look for the best way to hit my head with my desk a few dozen times...

I quoted it only to illustrate that having an interest in the topic does not make me obsessed (as I was accused of being above). I can't be the most extreme case here of a user posting lots on a topic she/he finds interesting? This does seem to be an internet discussion board?

So, I ask you out for coffee, even in an elevator. You say no. It's an awkward 30 second ride up, but I don't press further. This is something JREF is obligated to ensure doesn't happen? You will call upon your internet presence to boycott the conference unless this is resolved. Seems mumpish.
So I go to TAM. Some douchenozzle who knows I'm married decides to hit on me in an elevator. I decide to tell the story without mentioning his name and while protecting his identify. Do I then deserve to receive daily rape threats? Seems a bit much.

I don't think anyone has made that argument. I think the argument went more like "I assumed skeptical events were safe spaces in the LGBT/feminist meaning. Turns out I was wrong and they are just as problematic as other events/conferences which disappoints me."

The level of that response is what is keeping me away, and I can't say I'm surprised the number of female TAM attendees is down this year from last.

It is your problem if you really think that women are that shallow. I'm sure some are, and George may get a few more takers than any random dude, but honestly, the vast majority of women wouldn't instantly jump in the sack the second a hot male celebrity says, "Care to let me relieve myself sexually into one of your bodily orifices?"

Who's doing this? Can you give an example of this? I keep saying that men dismissing women's concerns is keeping at least one woman away, and yet you keep on dismissing those concerns. Oh yes, I'm probably the only woman in the world who wouldn't jump instantly into George Clooney's bed if he propositioned me for sex.......

Agreed. The human sex drive is a trivial thing, and even if it takes a village, we will eventually repress it.

I think it's how I respond after you vomit that makes the incident harassment or not.

You wrote a paper about harassment without understanding the idea of safe space and the chilling effect. Sweet.

Women don't need to be raped in the halls to be turned off. Being constantly told that they will be seen and treated as nothing more than "opportunity" is enough. Being told that complaining about this is verboten for the "good of the movement" is enough. Having no reason to believe that serious complaints will be dealt with is enough. Knowing that repeat offenders are invited back is enough.

Oh great now I'm anti-sex. Typical. Why do you consent-deficient folk always have to go there?

Agree completely. Hot women get hit on lots more. Gay is mostly immutable in that I can't usually tell your sexual orientation just by looking at you. So, yeah, I'm more likely to hit on an attractive woman (risking she might be gay) than a non-attractive woman. I don't think that needs apology, given the equally vacuous traits that many-- not all-- ladies seem to screen on (you must be tall; I like my heels!).

Nope, completely inappropriate and smacks of bitter maleness. Were you legitimately harassed at the conference, though, and is this the JREF's fault, and is your experience here worse than what you encounter in daily living (while comparing apples to apples re setting)?

bookitty, you have been warned. The destruction of the human race is on your shoulders. Why do you insist on people getting to know each other before one asks the other for sex? Don't you know we're on a very narrow time line, and if every single person on the planet doesn't start humping.....RIGHT NOW, no more babies can ever be born?!? So just grab the first available complementary body part and get busy, everybody! I'd better not see any more posts in this thread or every other for at least five minutes.

Yes, I was legitimately harassed, and I had to fend off a guy who stated his intention to get my friend drunk enough to take to his room. All of the parties had been to several TAMs, I was warned about 2 of them.

Yes Princess, you're entitled to a safe space. We men should huddle in asexual corners until you vet us. Approaching anywhere is creepy (unless you consent). Except that it seems like the nice guy gets rejected for the bold guy (at least some bold guys) who are confident enough to approach you in places like elevators. I don't claim the behavior is rational. But what's a man to do? I might be attracted to you, so much so that I approach. You have the absolute right to reject. We should shun this behavior specifically because it's a problem at TAM?

Taking a strawman to dinner doesn't make your table any less lonely.

ETA: For the demographics of TAM I am considered moderately attractive. There were people there who found me appealing. Some of them focused on this aspect alone and were creepy. Others considered it just nice bonus to the conversation we were having and they were not creepy. In both cases, I was aware of the attraction. Sometimes *gasp* it was even reciprocated. This did not end in any sort of sexual contact. When sexual contact was implied, pushed for, or repeatedly mentioned, it was creepy. When sexual contact was the only reason for speaking to me, it was creepy.

You're dichotomizing a continuum. fwiw, the paper passed peer review.

I've never been to TAM!, never really wanted to, and this thread is certainly not changing that, but I'm a bit confused how people came to the above conclusion (that skeptical events would be sexual harrassment free).

Having participated in this forum for a few years, and read the descriptions of TAMs past and the fond reminiscences of the merry antics of Drs Adequate and Buzzo I'd always pictured it as fairly seedy, with a high percentage of men who were enormously pleased with themselves but not particularly blessed with social skills.
What gave others a different impression?

Why over-dramatize the point? I never claimed this. I only claim that I have the right to approach / you have the right to reject. And, that this behavior is not unique to TAM.

How about men and women treat each other like human beings, and act in friendly ways toward each other? Do you honestly think that the only people who have ever entered into sexual relationships are those who boldly took a chance with virtual strangers? Do you think that the guys who approach women in elevators are the only sexually successful ones? Or do you think maybe just a few people have managed to get to know each other, recognized their mutual attraction, and increased their intimacy with enthusiastic consent? Nobody is telling men to stay in a corner until a woman has given him clearance to enter the sacred ground.

Regarding the highlighted bit: How do you even know if you're attracted to a woman until you've at least spoken to her?

Yes, really. By the author of a report on sexual harassment.

I'm sorry, but so much I'm seeing here tastes like that misogyny that so many people are saying Rebecca was over-exaggerating. The notion that women like to punish men for being male and/or socially awkward. That a rejection of an "awkward advance" isnt based on discomfort, but rather women judging the poor hopeful male to be "unworthy". The insistence that women who claim that strangers' propositioning them for sex would make them uncomfortable, would certainly agree instantly "if it was George Clooney". The idea that women would never have decided for themselves based on their own observations and reasoning capacity to not attend a TAM, but rather must've been "scared off by a feminist news article". All of these complete speculations simply stated and argued as axiomatic givens. I see it now.

If you can't, it isn't the fault of the women. Or George "please don't drag me into this" Clooney's.

Umm... I don't think the issue at hand has anything to do with 'E-Gate'. That incident didn't happen at TAM. The real issue here is how RW has reacted to a comment made by DJ which may or may not have been fair/unfair.

From my perspective, when you become an internet public personality of some reknown, particularly in a specific and active community, you better be willing to stand some heat. Sometimes strategies to deal with these situations include:

- Ignoring the whole thing.
- Calling the individual out on the comment in a public forum (live, in person)
- Writing an article on your own blog/various fora
- Calling for a boycott / publicly choosing to not participate in a specific event
- Picking up the phone and talking to the individual(s) involved and trying to find a common ground.

I think that RW in this case has chosen a strategy that I PERSONALLY would not have selected. There was/is probably a better way to handle the situation for everyone involved, in particular the 'community' as a whole. But its entirely in her right to do so.

Her not attending TAM will have absolutely zero effect on whether or not women feel safe(r) at TAM. Those who are guilty of the harassment (I genuinely believe, a very small subset of the larger group) will continue to operate, presumably on the smaller number of available targets. The terrorists win.

Having participated in this forum for a few years, and read the descriptions of TAMs past and the fond reminiscences of the merry antics of Drs Adequate and Buzzo I'd always pictured it as fairly seedy, with a high percentage of men who were enormously pleased with themselves but not particularly blessed with social skills.
What gave others a different impression?
For my part, I can only say naivete. I knew there would be a few boors, but it was my thought that men who were more socially progressive would be more accepting of a diverse crowd, similar to what I'm used to from living in cities like Seattle and Vancouver. (Of course there are creeps here too, but it's nothing like what I experienced in the US South, where the racism and sexism were worn as sa-weet badges of pride.) I was hoping for more of the awesome multicultural diversity and less of the pompous blowhardiness from the skeptical community. Especially when some of the top male dogs were talking about how to get more women interested. Oh well. Still hopeful that things will change. Lots of pockets of awesomeness in this thread.

Why don't I have the right to approach?

Sorry I didn't mean to confuse you further, since you're obviously missing the point. Nobody is saying that men can't approach women (or vice versa) or that it's not okay to hook up when you go to a convention. It's all in the way it's done. If too many men are cold-propositioning women, or sticking their tongue down the throat of every woman they see, then there's a problem. Is it really so difficult for people to get to know each other just a little bit, so they have some degree of confidence that their advances will be accepted? Like, I don't know....start with something smaller and see where it takes you. Hasn't this particular wheel already been invented?

How about meeting someone first? Is she at a bar talking with friends - sit down and talk for a while about whatever the group is talking about. Is she alone? Wait til she's in a public place. Strike up a conversation. Something not along the lines of "Hello, I saw you at the conference and couldn't help but notice you have a vagina; let's ****!" would probably be best.

I mean it's funny, men all throughout history even in the most restrictive societies have somehow managed to get laid, and often. Yet not being welcome to corner a woman in an elevator and ask for it is somehow a clear and present danger to the future of mankind's sex-getting.

Agreed, but I don't think you accurately characterize my position. Could be my writing is unclear.

From your mention of Anita Ikonen, it was TAM8 you went to, which was before the anti-harassment policy at TAM9, so there were no instructions on what to do. However, did you report your experiences to any of the staff?
