    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    KB fair enough. I'll cover some of that as best I am able. First there is societal conditioning. This affects both genders, don't get me wrong, but your questions addressed the female perspective. From the time we are infants when our parents wanted to dress us up they invariably put us in...

    Which is why mediation is necessary. A person can go quietly to such a person without creating a public scene that risks escalation. The Con can speak to the alleged harasser quietly, and indeed point out to this person is risking public humiliation of it continues, if that is something they...

    While the few women commenting on this thread have mostly fallen silent, I do want to say it wasn't because I felt run off. I have been following, and a number of times refrained because terms are used that are unfamiliar to me, and another person other than the subject of the article was...

    I am not a drinker either, and yes alcohol can contribute to the problem. It all ready makes it worse for women in this way. Anytime we go somewhere alcohol is served, parties, bars, Cons, whatever, if we are assaulted we are first asked "Why did you go there if you knew there was drinking?"...

    EXACTLY. Harassment is bullying. Bullying is killing people all across our society. This is EVERYONE'S problem, and no sub-group is immune. Laughing at some guy because he isn't getting "laid" putting pressure on HIM to meet some macho standard is just as harmful as sexually harassing anyone...

    And going into what? Ten days now of ongoing discussion, to reach the point of finding those points we do agree on, learning to recognize what the others may say that because our life experience is simply different we may have failed to recognize what they actually mean.

    well after the initial few days of naysayers, this has evolved to real discussion of possible solutions, or steps towards those solutions. All of what you guys have suggested is good. My final thought, a half dozen ideas of the best way to present the info to insure everyone or as many as...

    Ah yes, the old "you can lead a horse to water...." conundrum. As someone who has done some marketing and promotion, the trick is to find a title they will find compelling enough to say "WTH?" and read it to SEE WTH. What that might entail to catch the attention of gamers I would have to...
