  • I have to agree to disagree.

    I often do find myself more likely to talk about gender specific issues when I know that the space I’m in will make an effort to exclude those people who don’t understand that some topics aren’t for them. I have seen, time and again, how any topic focusing on the issues of a specific gender will bring out hordes of people to scream about how this exclusion is somehow evil or wrong just because it excludes them.

    Gender specific conversations draw out trolls like nothing else.






  • Sure it does. I’ve done it!

    Code of Conduct and ethical behavior are for everyone, not just people who follow the rules in college. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

    Now, professionally, I’m under an exceptional amount of scrutiny for ethical behavior and I very much should be! I work with marginalized and underrepresented people! They are easy to exploit and are very protected by the law, as well as our ethics. I’ve reported others for their unethical behavior (as well as conducted conversations about appropriate interaction with the people we support).

    What that means is, my (metaphorical) nuts are at the band saw every minute of every day. I am absolutely fine with that. It needs to be that way. And if I have a reportable offense, if I ever refer to my actual employer by their name online, I hope to God someone reports me. Because I need a reality check, and I need one badly.

    Goose, gander. Rules for thee, rules for me. The poster isn’t somehow allowed to be abused because they did something in the past (which they paid for!) by someone with a superiority complex. That person isn’t somehow immune to the consequences of their actions just because of something OP did in the past.
