I just appreciate a man coming in and responding. We so often do the emotional labor of explaining these things over and over again and tbh it's exhausting.

Would attendees forming a shuttle service from/to the airport solve some of these problems? I bet there are enough people at MicrConf willing to do that - e.g. Dave and Christian

I could also see that feeling creepy. "These random dudes volunteered to drive scared women from the airport." I'd be totally willing to do work like this, but also feel like it may be more effective as part of a women orientation group?
