Sorry, I did not wanted to offend you. I hope your understand that removing people with different opinions that yours will not help you solve any problems. Nevertheless, I still convinced that there is a problem, that the card solution to this problem is comically wrong, and that the "conference police" solution to this problem is the worst. EDIT: BTW, If you were sexually molested at a conf. you can tell the regular police. There are very clear laws against that behaviour that also are valid inside conferences.

Well, if it matters to you, I concur with drivebyacct2's desire, and I have a Y chromosome. Societies require enforcement mechanisms, or it is just base nature, red in tooth and claw. If you think there are problems that must be corrected, you too surely believe that there are mechanisms for coercing behavior. Exile is one such method that's been used in many civilizations over millenia. Edit: It's worth pointing out that your assumption that drivebyacct22 is a girl simply because he/she disagrees with you is really weird.

  Yes I removed that, I wanted to make a small joke but I realized people are too serious about this issue. Yes there are mechanisms for coercing behavior, jail for example. We already have laws governing sexual misconduct much more effective than colored cards. I hope you realize the potential of abuse that a rule against "offending" people have. EDIT: I'm sure we at least agree that most of the harrasments occur under the influence of alcohol. So what about banning Alcohol in conferences, like you know, 100% of academic conferences do. Problem solved.

    If someone tries to drunkenly lick my tattoo, I'm not just going to call the cops on them. But I will probably use some lesser method of coercion to get them to stop.

      And what you would do if someone grab your hips. This is a very real situation as accidental hip grabbing is very common specially in crowded conferences. I believe hip grabbing and tatoo licking are VERY different situations, you see how complicated this issue really is.
