So while "danger zone" to mean it's the zone causing stuff is misplaced when talking about individual known predators, I do not think it is misplaced when talking about the examples I gave above. Language/semantics are tricky as we all know.

I personally call places/events "danger/unsafe zones", "toxic", etc., to describe exactly this lack of a code of conduct and/or lack of enforcing the CoC. Kyriarchy/patriarchy is sadly everybody, even women laterally, allowing misogyny and sexism to continue unchecked.

We all do it. We just need those with more power, predominantly older white men, it seems, to exert some top-down control and enforce a CoC at, e.g., conferences, and generally listen to us when we speak out.

The whole

thing has made me realise that finally speaking out [still very much hurts] but finally has some positive effect on the world and that those with the top-down power to change things are listening to us at/closer to the bottom.
