There is no mention of "sexual assault" or even "sexual" in the submitted story, not sure where you get that from.

"unwanted attention" simply means (for me at least) that someone gave you attention, that you didn't expect. I would assume that people expect that to happen when you write in a public place and also submitting it to places like HN and elsewhere.

If this really is about "sexual harassment" and not saying "Hi, cool story" via Twitter, then I can understand the frustration and it's obviously not ok.

But the article doesn't make this clear and I don't want to make the assumption either...
