I am noticing a trend in women age 18-22 I’m mentoring— they try to network and get mentoring and go to meetups and literally every guy they try to talk with gets flirty They’re *blocked* from this professional advancement because so many guys jump straight into trying to date

Ugh, I hate it when the guys at work talk about how attractive they find a colleague and when I try to stop them say 'oh come on, you're thinking it too' Yes, boys, thinking it. Not saying it, because I'm not a tool

The difference being that there are actual consequences for women who flirt with other women who aren't interested. The approach tends to be much more cautious.

Hi, re your Bi and don’t find other gay women flirting... any idea if it’s the same with gay men? I’ve not encountered it; but then know very few gay males in tech.

Men can get beat up for flirting with the wrong man.

Oh yeah, just looking in some cases... tho I haven’t experienced that. Touch wood! But the total invisibility has a toll.

This is true in so many things. I never run into this with women regardless of their sexuality.

I have definitely been bothered and harassed by queer women in the industry as well but no where near as much or as often as men.

Yes. Queer women handle the balance of “this is a professional event” and “people meet each other all sorts of ways” much better and more delicately.

"Straight cis guys" lol You probably should say "white straight cis males." If you're including Black, Asian, Jewish, Hispanic males.. you might get in trouble being a white, privileged female. Intersectionality has hierarchies of virtue based on color and victimization.
