Topic: Elevator incident
+Anonymous A — 13.4 years ago #21,400
In June 2011, Watson described an experience at an atheist conference, concerning an approach by a man in an elevator, who invited her to his room for coffee and a conversation late at night, after she had talked extensively about disliking being "sexualized" at atheist conferences.[19] In a video blog, among other things, she stated that incident made her feel sexualized and uncomfortable and advised, "Guys, don't do that".[20] Her statement sparked a controversy among the skeptic community.[21] Her critics said she was overreacting to a trivial incident, most notably Richard Dawkins, who wrote a satirical letter to an imaginary Muslim woman undergoing female genital mutilation, sarcastically contrasting her plight to Watson's complaint. This in turn caused him to be criticized by many, including several figures in the community.[22][23] Watson announced that she would not buy or endorse Dawkins's books and lectures in the future.[22] She also wrote that, as a result of Dawkins's criticism, her Wikipedia article was vandalized and offensive images were posted on her Facebook page. [24]Later in September, a staff reporter of the Mail & Guardian summarized the incident as "a fairly useful debate about feminism, sexism and appropriate sexual boundaries between men and women [that] descended into all out troll warfare and an attendant witch-hunt to persecute sexists in the atheist community."[25]

This is old and the bitch thinks way too highly of herself. Maybe one day she'll get raped.

As a doctor, I would always make sure that the elevator is free of women before I enter it to avoid any incidents.·Anonymous A (OP) — 13.4 years ago, 13 minutes later, 1 hour after the original post[T] [B] #258,070

I was thinking the same sort of thing. Not that I would avoid an elevator with women in but I would avoid an elevator with her in.
Omg, a male hit on a female in a polite way.

I can't believe such misogyny exists in modern society!

Women dont like being hit on in the middle of the night, in an enclosed space. What a shock.

She stated she didn't want to be sexulised at conventions, the fact it was in an elevator seemed irrelevant. She then said "Guys, don't do this" I'm sure there were women in the audience hoping men would do just that. It was her who failed to understand social interactions. Men hit on women, it's a fact of life and it's crazy feminists in the media like her who are confusing men and ruining masculinity for both men and women. Yes there are creepy/scary men out there who do fail to understand social interactions but this chap didn't seem one of them (hence the shitstorm)

If you think that women want to be hit on by strange men at four in the morning in an enclosed space, than you are Chris Chan. Though I wont judge you for it. Everyone has a place in this world. :)

He talked to her in a confined area. He emotionally raped her just by speaking. Blatant misogyny.

Autists should just be happy about getting tips on women. So that they will no longer be friendzoned :)

First of all why are you following up by trying to insult me? Second, you missed the point I was trying to make that she didn't want to be hit on at conventions. It could have been at the bar at 6pm, she would have still brought it up at some point.
How should we fix this problem asuming you and her are right? Sould women wear a sign around their necks inviting men to hit on them, maybe create some kind of law that states that if said female doesn't have a sign and is hit on said male with do 5 years hard labour.

I love how Kook just insults and dodges any points people bring up when she feels she is losing a discussion

I'm not insulting you.I'd never do that. I just assumed that since you dont understand these things, that you might be autistic. Autistic people arent bad or anything.Its in poor form to hit on women at night in enclosed spaces. Now that you know, you can improve your game :) Yay!

He asked her in for coffee and conversation. While that is "hitting" on someone it's hardly a scandle worthy of a conservative politician but can you also stop avoiding that she said she didn't want to be sexulized at a convention. Should NO women be asked out at a convention, does she speak for all women?

When you ask someone for coffee in their room at 4:00 am, it is a pick up attempt.
Why do you feel like you know more about women than an actual woman? That's very naive.

Kook also speaks for all women. You should know this by now. The homely girl at an atheism convention also speaks for all women there. You must be a chauvinistic rapist!

You don't speak for all women and all you have done is dodge points I bring up because you're scared you'll lose. It's you who has autism or maybe an thin ego. And how do you know it was 4am?

I never dodged points or insulted you. She had a lectured where she talked about being sexulaized. Later, she was hit on by a strange man in an enclosed space at four in the morning. The time was specifically mentioned. That was her issue. I'm trying top help you understand, and help with your women problems

I never said that they did, and neither did she. Not all people dislike being mugged, but telling an autist not to mug would still be good advice. Hope that this helped!
