IMO the creeper card thing is pretty bogus. If you are in a threatening situation, handing someone a red card is not going to deescalate anything. Nor is it nonconfrontational. It's basically shifting blame back onto the women, "well if he was such a creep why didn't you call him on it" etc.
Heres a thought: harassment at conferences is a big deal because it is a crime that can have you lead away in handcuffs...

- lukev 14y agoUnfortunately there's a level of harassment that probably isn't worth prosecuting, but that still is a very real problem. The creeper card system, while imperfect, does provide a kind of a framework to call people out for minor inappropriate behavior which some might find easier than continuously find a good response on the fly.
