TFA says: >60% of women in Tech reported unwanted sexual advances. > > -- 65% of women who report unwanted sexual advances had received advances from a superior, with half receiving advances more than once > -- 1 in 3 have felt afraid of their personal safety because of work related circumstances (emphasis mine) Power-imbalanced? Yes, for 39% of them, and 30% had some multiple times. I agree that "unwanted advance" could mean someone asked me out and I didn't like them. I'll be honest, I don't deal with that problem myself because men aren't asked by women in our society, but I think you should define what you think draws the line between unwanted and inappropriate. |

"24% of women in Tech reported inappropriate sexual advances" is a less scary headline.
It's still way too high, but when you also factor in the selection bias and poor methodology, I have a very hard time taking these numbers at face value.
As for "afraid of their personal safety", that's subjective enough -- and introduces significant response bias in the already selective audience -- to be useless.
