<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Thanks for the post, Bracken.<BR> <BR>I would also have spoken up -- in a respectful, polite, assertive manner. We can all take responsibility for speaking up when someone says/does something that we perceive is making someone feel less welcome or uncomfortable. And this gives people a chance to learn something about others' points of view. If no one speaks up, it's very possible that the person saying/doing these sorts of things will remain oblivious to the negative effects, since they probably can't read others' minds.<br> <BR><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2014 11:51:24 +0000<br>From: abdawson@gmail.com<br>To: equality@lists.hackerspaces.org<br>Subject: [hs-equality] Fw: This is What it's Like to Be a Woman at a Bitcoin Meetup<br><br><div dir="ltr"><a href="http://ariannasimpson.com/post/74400025051/this-is-what-its-like-to-be-a-woman-at-a-bitcoin" target="_blank">http://ariannasimpson.com/post/74400025051/this-is-what-its-like-to-be-a-woman-at-a-bitcoin</a><br><br>Found this in Facebook this morning, my friend that shared it said she thought they should have called them out on their behaviour. I think some of the presumably many guys there should call them out on behalf of the newcomers, they can't have all been oblivious. I think I would have.<br>
