Why do I think she's afraid of men? Er...because the entire article is about her feelings concerning her treatment by men in the gaming industry. Oh, and there's that's whole thing about about the bathroom, and how there is no light because there are no other women who use the bathroom, and yet is afraid of being…

Outright lying? Wow. If you are gonna send out an accusation like that, at least back it up. Sheesh. Wait, what's that thing where you fabricate something out of nothing? Oh, a lie. Right.

Says the person who assumes I'm privileged with no knowledge, only "moral" outrage. Keepin' it classy, SJW.

And I think you are disempowering her and empowering her embraced victim mentality. *shrug*

Your logic isn't.

I think it's delusional to think that she would have added a paragraph if it had been a woman. She's afraid of men. If it had been a woman, I doubt she would have considered her standing in the doorway "blocking" her. I doubt she would have taken compliments as anything other than that. And I doubt when the woman…

Large tech buildings tend to have security for insurance reasons, if nothing else.

Then I believe you are delusional, but you are entitled to that belief. She has a fear of being trapped and accosted by men, that's evident in what she writes. *shrug*

This was presumably after hours, but instead of entertaining him, why not call security and report him as drunk? Then it's no longer her problem.

So, had it been a female, drunk, when she was alone, making comments about her apperance, that was blocking her exit and talking to her for 20 minutes we'd be having this conversation? You honestly believe that?

I lack sympathy, not empathy. Sympathy is mindless. Empathy requires thought. "A man talked her and she was afraid? Poor baby!" That's sympathy. "A man talked to her, and she felt uncomfortable. What was said and done on both sides to cause this and alleviate the situation?" That's empathy. Sympathy leads to…

You can say, "Thank you." You can ignore him. You can say, "Fuck off, you misogynistic piece of shit."

Fine, let's go with this. Your hypothetical drunk guy saw you drop your phone. He picks it up. He starts after you, and manages out, "Hey, you!" You decide rather than seeing what he wants, which would be polite, because you can still keep his distance, you scurry off and leave your phone or whatever. Knowing is…

Drunk guy wasn't ambling toward her. He was talking. Still irrational, especially since she makes no mention of telling him any of her feelings about the situation.

In that 20 minutes, how often did she tell him to leave?

*yawn*

"More of your conversation would infect my brain."

Awww...no fair using King Lear. That's sort of cheating.

If that works for you, that's great. I've seen people like that where it's gone horribly wrong. I think extremes tend to be bad.

For one reason: it assumes that men are always the problem, and are somehow inherently guilty. What message does it send to men to say, "Well, she's gonna think you are a rapist anyway, so what does it matter what you do?" That's incredibly damaging.
