"You're a NAUGHTY NAUGHTY girl"- @michaelshermer kneeling next to me at TAM9 after I accidentally dropped tongs at the reception buffet
@dELYSEious @michaelshermer What's wrong w/flirtatious talk? We're sexual beings. If it's unwanted, simply say so & the person should stop.
@emilyhasbooks @dELYSEious - "flirtatious talk" that is completely unwarranted and comes from nowhere? The "wrong" seems pretty obvious
@Crommunist @dELYSEious Flirts can come out of nowhere w/o being a problem. The problem begins when it persists after saying it's not cool.
@emilyhasbooks @Crommunist @dELYSEious No. "Out of nowhere" IS the problem. And that's not "flirting."
@OpheliaBenson @Crommunist @dELYSEious It's a big complex world of perception & we need to communicate, not judge. I'm pro Socratic method.
@emilyhasbooks You are attempting to make excuses for a known serial harasser. @OpheliaBenson @Crommunist @dELYSEious
@abrashTX @OpheliaBenson @Crommunist @dELYSEious I'm attempting to say we're flawed ppl & should figure out how to help each other in that.
.@emilyhasbooks you're working hard to help him get empathy for creepiness, but not hard helping me eat chicken without creeps in my ear.
@dELYSEious I don't think we're entitled to a space w/o others expressing themselves. We are entitled to them stopping when asked though.
@Crommunist @dELYSEious Why be so quick to cut me out? We agree on a whole realm of other topics & goals.
@emilyhasbooks @dELYSEious - we're both bipedal! Let's put this whole silly "genocide" thing aside, Mr. Amin!
