My experiences in tech: Death by 1000 paper cuts

My point is that if people drink heavily, their safety decreases. And the safety of women decreases more than it does for men.

If we value women's safety, then we should not have drunk fests at our conferences. Many of the worst cases of sexual harassment at conferences reported in the last few years were at the after party.

Am I wrong, or is it that you just don't like me? You certainly seem to enjoy stuffing words into my mouth.

I'm tired and looking for an argument. You were in the way, sorry.

Conferences probably are not the best places to be getting hammered regardless of gender. It's unprofessional and its boring.

The fact that women would even have to think about this stuff in a professional setting disgusts me.
