I'm worried that this is just as common in academia as we are hearing it is in Hollywood and politics. #unacceptable https://medium.com/@kristianlum/statistics-we-have-a-problem-304638dc5de5 …

Yep. Unfortunately, I am beginning to see a pattern where lots of drinking in quasi work/social situations is a danger zone. Not so much in tight nit groups, like a lab gathering, but more so at conferences, etc.

Hmmm. Calling it a 'danger zone' suggests that the predatory individuals are not at fault. Weirdly, the vast majority of men *and women* manage to navigate the 'dangers' of socialising without assaulting anyone!

Completely agree Suzy. We need to stop focusing on the situation... This approach implies that avoiding such 'danger zones' will fix the problem. When actually we just need these predatory men to treat ALL their colleagues/students with respect. In ALL situations.

The 'danger zone' is not defined by the particular situation that we might be in. It is defined SOLELY by the presence of particular individuals.

Speaking from personal experience, I believe steps taken to help less powerful ppl involve environment change as well as removal of individuals. E.g., codes of conduct esp 1s that make it clear sexual harassment/assault are not tolerated are 1st step in making events less toxic.

Absolutely, And those codes of conduct should involve clear statements about both conventional work interactions and more information social interactions. The problem is present in both but manifests differently.

Sadly messages needs to be made clear that, yes, "don't assault people", but also: "if you see people being assaulted do not ignore it". Many allies are ignorant to us being assaulted and yet are willing to help when it's pointed out.
