It's a hostile environment either way - even the male speaker in this whole drama was widely known as "a male chauvinist who persecutes and intimidates women at sector conferences" - which is why he was so unwelcome in the first place! But sunlight is the best disinfectant - throw out with prejudice ANYONE who is publicly known to engage in intimidating behavior, whether they're of the "male chauvinist" or the "SJW" sort. Let the pox fall on both houses.
(edit for the avoidance of doubt: I mean the dude who was disinvited by OP, of course.)
- draw_down 7y agoI don't understand how that's supposed to solve the problem that the conference scene feels hostile. To the extent that there are "two sides", sure, condemn bad people on both sides. But that's just making sure the shittiness is distributed evenly. In other contexts, cancel culture is making everything terrible. This just sounds like more of that. (By the way, I'm not allowed to post more than twice in 2 hour spans so I can't respond further)
- somebodyelse1 7y agoDude, you are just repeating what he said in the post. He is not 'widely known as' nothing. Its all what he say. We dont know the other side.
