Excuse me but I am surprised. I read a lot on HN and on several planets (feed aggregation) about harassment, but in my field (engineering) I have never seen/experienced/heard about such cases even if the ratio female/male is pretty low is some of these conferences. Is it something specific to the coder community? Or maybe chemical/process engineers are just an exception? Or is it specific to the US in this field (I have been to a couple of coder oriented conferences in Europe without experiencing such cases but only engineering confs in the US)?
- jakobe 14y agoSexual harassment does happen, but very few people talk about it in public. In fact, most people don't even talk about it in private. It's very much possible that it is common, but noone ever told you about it (except for bloggers who are not ashamed of speaking up).
