We are not 'near' that point. The Rebecca Watson incident clearly demonstrates that we are already there.

- michaelchisari 15y ago1. Woman does a presentation where she talks about objectification of women in a male dominated social group. 2. Woman gets hit on in an elevator in a foreign country after leaving a bar at 4am. She declines. 3. Woman mentions incident as a "What Not To Wear" style off-hand comment in a video blog about the conference, before going on to more important things. 4. Richard Dawkins flips his shit. 5. Some men think this situation means politely asking a woman out for coffee will get you accused of rape.
- owenmarshall 15y agoSeriously? RW said that being hit on in an elevator @ 4AM made her feel uncomfortable. That's it, and if people were able to muster up a shred of empathy and think "gee, if this makes people feel uncomfortable, I shouldn't do it", elevatorgate wouldn't have happened. Instead, men came out of the woodwork left and right trying to defend their right to flirt on women in any situation, irrelevant of how it might make the woman feel.
