It’s appropriate at a bar. It’s not appropriate at a professional conference or at work. Especially with the age / seniority difference, this is textbook sexual harassment.

Saying that doesn't make it so, you have to actually back your claim up with some reasoning.

Fair enough, but that knife cuts both ways. Explain how it is not.

Explain why any young woman in tech would want to go to a conference where a bunch of old guys think it’s perfectly ok to treat her like a potential mate, instead of a colleague with a brain and technical background worth learning from and mentoring.

Explain why she should have to put up with shit like this, while her male peers do not.
