that's a pity. :-/
I have to say that my personal experience at YAPCs and perl workshops is very good; I even was member of the orga team for the first time recently. We added a short policy against discrimination and harassment to our call for participation. I would like to encourage you to participate in conferences, and in case of an issue, talk to the orga team or the person in question; maybe that's the best way to make the right people aware of the problem. =) | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |
Please don't take this community as an example. There seem to be some people who make bad jokes (possibly unintended), and unfortunately a number of machos who take part in such discussions and use all means to discredit anybody who is complaining. This is easy because it's anonmyous.
I guess at conferences this is better. If those people are attending (what I doubt), then at least they usually don't dare to say aloud what they've written here. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |

Being oversensitive surely feels that way. I'll tell you a secret, we all feel not welcome at times. Some of us did not find an organization to amplify and return the feeling yet though.

Enoch was right!
Enjoy the last years of Rome.
