This is rife in academia in my exper. "Want to have a coffee" etc etc. Kind of sexist (?) kind of gross (for sure).https://twitter.com/mjsandells/status/776786685229142017 …

so like imagine this (true story). I enquire about how to apply for job. I get email saying "meet me for coffee".
-
this is illegal (100%) and kind of creepy? They even confirmed over email & in person that it was to screen me.
-
and during this informal coffee they asked about my (non white British) ethnic background. Again 100% illegal.
-
I wish at the time I had reported their creepy shit to their university

-
because it's not just about him not hiring me (I thought project was utter shite) it's about inclusion & the law

ohhh even with that context I still misread. Got it. Thanks. I was baffled: "how is coffee on campus sexist?"
-
really appreciate you asked btw

-
thanks for clarifying. Sorry you had to (have to) deal with creeps. Taking time to self-monitor is easy. But thanks!
