Some of the greatest regrets of my youth involve not firmly and directly calling out internet men for wildly inappropriate behavior towards me (gaslighting, stalking harassment) before they went on to genuinely hurt someone else in IT. https://twitter.com/abbyfuller/status/1343035576799305728
If you think it’s cool or appropriate to try to pick up a person in her (physical or virtual) place of business for politely providing you a professional service, I really don’t know what to tell you. We don’t live in a crappy 80s rom com. I’d call you out.
Because, for the most part that’s not about liking or respecting the person. It’s about being willing to overstep her boundaries and disrespect her professional credentials purely for the sake of your own satisfaction and fantasies. If you really care, you could make an effort.
