I believe everything the author of the blog post has said. The guy in question deserves everything that is coming to him.
It’s not the first time something like this has happened to me, at all. It’s not
the first time it’s happened to me at a tech conference. But it is the first time
I’ve spoken out about it in this way,
This is a crime. You would report it if someone robbed your house, you would report it if someone bashed you in a dark alley. Incidents like these needs to be reported every time, so it's good she has told us about it; but then I guess as a member of the opposite sex I can't see how hard it is to report crimes like this from a woman's perspective.
I’m tired of the sense that some idiot can ruin my day and never have to answer
for it. I’m tired of the fear. I’m tired of people who think I should wear
something different. I’m tired of people who think I should avoid having a beer
in case my vigilance lapses for a moment. I’m tired of people who say that guys
can’t read me right and I have to read them, and avoid giving the wrong
impression.
It is unfortunate that in this society, as the above comment said, everyone needs to be a steward for their own safety. Some might need to stay vigilant more so than others, but even then, even if they are tired of it, they are still the only ones who truly understand how to keep themselves safe, there is no one else who can do as good a job.
Nonetheless from what I see there's nothing she could have done to have prevented it, besides being absent from the after party.
