How is the difference important at all.
Regardless, I consider the after-conference 'events' often more substantial than some of the conference, it is my favorite part and I often learn more out of the (usually drunken) disucssions.
The thought of having the anxiety or fear like this ruin that for me is terrible.
- wtracy 16y agoIt makes a difference in terms of being able to tell women: You're going to be safer at the actual event than at the after-event drinking parties. In terms of excusing the man's behavior, it makes no fucking difference.
- cowpewter 16y agoUnfortunately, the after-event drinking parties are where most of the fun and the networking happen. I don't think telling women "oh sure the conference is perfectly safe but watch yourself at the after-parties, geeks can get pretty handsy when they're drunk" is going to encourage more women to come to conferences. (Sorry for the sour sarcasm, it's the only way I can handle such a uncomfortable subject)
- lucisferre 16y agoPerhaps you should send the author a note asking to add your sentiments to her post. Honestly the only thing that could possibly make any difference would be if the whole thing was fabricated. Which would be a huge difference.
