  • Why not? It worked didn’t it? Also she didn’t report it to an event organizer, she spoke to his publisher in person, she didn’t even get it in writing.

    This whole situation looks to me like she has a lot to gain from her special “get lots of major names and publishers together with me in the center” as opposed to just posting the screenshot and seeing that the community would take it upon themselves to speak up with their dollar.

    I’m so sick of this “difficult women” lie. Men get fired too for reporting safety concerns, but you still report them to OSHA because it’s the right thing to do and we have protections in place for those people. It’s time to admit that when someone is using their victimhood for their benefit, that the community is ultimately who pays that price.


  • In that article a female advocate for women’s rights describes how she sat back and did nothing to name and shame inappropriate behavior. She talks about how it’s men’s collective problem to solve her issues for her, and about how speaking up for herself isn’t her responsibility.

    She’s right that she shouldn’t have to put up with it, but what is anybody supposed to do when nobody wants to point it out when it happens? Suffragettes did not get their needs met by asking their husbands to do it for them. She needs to name the people who do immoral things, not sit around and hope it gets better by asking politely. Get angry, get mad, but don’t ask nicely for HR to solve your problem when we know damn well who HR really protects.
