&gt; Harrasement is not a gender issue<p>It&#x27;s interesting that it can be true, but not change much in practice due to gender imbalance at tech conferences.<p>Let&#x27;s assume that 1% of attendees (of any gender) are bad actors attacking the other gender. If a conference has e.g. 800 men and 200 women, then there will be 2 female harassers vs 800 men, and 8 male harassers vs 200 women. That&#x27;s a 16 times difference in likelihood of being harassed ((8&#x2F;200) &#x2F; (2&#x2F;800)), just from attendee imbalance, and no fault of any gender.
