I will take a negative yet overt reaction to a passive aggressive one any day! Can talk through an overt one but hard to argue against passive aggressive.

Women: this escalated too much, im going to HR and denounce you for harassment.

Men: Dude, lets go the parking lot and resolve it like a man.

I'm down with the guy, later we can drink beers and laughs after

Part of my job is investigating harassments claims.
So far in 30 years the total is
Men complaining about men - 100
Men complaining about women - 20
Women complaining about women - 20
Women complaining about men - 0

And the whole "lets settle it in the parking lot" thing ended about 20 years ago.

Only thing I'd say is maybe the women complaining about men number is under-reported, just because I do think some women are scared of coming forward about real harassment issues.

The other numbers are all about what I'd expect though.

I’m not sure I agree. I’d bet Texas has a higher proportion of assholes than lots of places. Particularly if you’re a member of undesirable groups.

Culture matters.

I got my NFC stickers. Tried one out.

The idea works. The only real issue is that Apple for whatever reason hasn't opened up the same scanning + automation functionality on the Watch that the iPhone has. But still, a cool little basic project.

Grrrr... Went 33 years without needing to use a torch. Now I need a torch to loosen a nut to move a bolt 1/12 of a turn.
