Ah, didn't realize it was about cancer. I wouldn't trivialize that. I thought it was a guy complaining about just a vasectomy.

He wasn't complaining about the vasectomy. He volunteered for the vasectomy. He was complaining about pelvic pain. Would you trivialize that? Would the source of the pelvic pain factor into your decision about whether or not to trivialize it?

"He wasn't complaining about the vasectomy." Correct. "He was complaining about pelvic pain." Perhaps. Alternative possibility: he was a professor advertising to a graduate student in his department that he wouldn't get her pregnant if they had sex. *nudge, wink, etc.*

Of course! Or just asserting himself by transgression of norms in prep of further violations. Anything even a little sexual in a professional setting in the overwhelming number of cases is prep for more BS.

Exactly! It's testing the water to see how much he can get away with without pushback. Which is why pushing back with a joke was exactly the right thing to do.

There is literally NO social event I have ever attended where it would be appropriate to discuss ANY aspect of a vasectomy or similar operation with other people!! In what fucked-up alternate universe is that not obvious?!

My apologies. I didn't see how long the list of tag-ees was. Twitter seriously needs to enable that proactively for threads a person wants out of.

There is "mute conversation" which is very useful.

Thanks! I've never used it, but it does look like it would help limit some of the problems.
