[Noisebridge-discuss] Preventing Hacker Rape Culture

[Ever Falling]

I think acting inappropriately and behaving in sexually harassing ways
don't quite extend all the way to advocating sexual violence and rape so i
think maybe "rape culture" is too strong a term to be applied here. I think
even those idiots who can't keep their hands to themselves and can't
respect personal space would have to stop and say "whoa now who said
anything about supporting rape?". I think sexual harassment seems like a
more fitting term to use.

How can we prevent sexual harassment in the space? Calling it out when we
see it would be one thing. Maybe even lodging formal complaints somewhere
that would be recorded and discussed and repeat offenders would have to
face some manner of consequences like not being allowed in the space
anymore. How do most organizations with an HR department handle this stuff?
That would be good to know.
