I have to say, when I saw someone ask him if he was going to be at CONvergence, I winced.
Same here. The thought of something like that infiltrating CVG makes me recoil, as CVG is currently one of the most gender-fair conventions I've ever attended (without specifically branding itself "feminist").
I briefly considered making buttons that said, "If you ask to grope me, I will not ask before I stab you in the face," but the phrase didn't seem catchy. Then again, I shouldn't have to wear something like that, period.
(Apologies to Snurri for invading. I got here via the flurry of links.)
