What I learnt from being sexually harassed at Google
 &gt; In hindsight and with more experience, I now can say, “Yes, I shouldn’t have tolerated even a little bit of misogyny or mistreatment. I should’ve immediately given him feedback that it made me feel extremely uncomfortable.” But regardless of my own reactions, the fact remains that sexual harassment should never have happened in the first place.<p>Women don&#x27;t(in some cases: don&#x27;t want) to realise that they can send out misleading signals, which itself would not be an issue if they would clarify their limits when a man does something inappropriate.<p>Men might do something physical without any bad intentions and women might interpret them otherwise.<p>Here is how I see it:<p>If someone violates your intimate space, send a subtle signal that it&#x27;s not okay: move away, turn away or do a grumpy cat impression.<p>If the person does not understand the subtle signal, use words.<p>If words fail, contact the authorities.<p>I&#x27;d wish we could move away from the one dimensional &quot;males in tech are sexist&quot; angle onto something more scientific. However, judging by the tile of the post, we are galaxies away from that.
