A conference code of conduct is an indicator of negative prejudice against men. I wouldn't feel welcome there.
Edit: I am not allowed to reply any further. But you all don't get my point. I don't find the rule off putting because I am worried about my right to harass people. I am not interested in harassing people. I am worried about the implied accusation of such a policy. But if you don't see it - fine! You are certainly entitled to your policy.
This has nothing to do with gay men or disabled men whatsoever.
- aaronbrethorst 12y ago> men I'm pretty sure there are some gay men, or men with disabilities, just to pick two examples, who would disagree with you.
- facepalm 12y agoWhat do you mean? What does that have to do with gay or disabled men? @idlewords I can't reply further, but I think you have completely misunderstood my point.

- idlewords 12y agoThe code of conduct is scrupulously gender neutral. It also covers race, religion and physical handicap. It boils down to "don't be a jerk". The fact that you find this offputting is curious. The tingling feeling tells me the code of conduct is working.
