I'm all about anti-harassment guidelines, but the following is just as offensive as harassment: I’d like to borrow a line from the Flickr Community Guidelines, which use the term Creepiness as follows: "You know that guy. Don’t be that guy." If we hear that you are that guy, we will investigate, and you may be asked to leave. That's not a clear guideline, and it's sexist, to boot. Consider: We all know that prudish woman. Don't be that prudish woman. That wouldn't fly, and for the same very good reasons that their guidelines need more work. They need first to remove the gender language, since unwanted advances and inappropriate behavior can come from either side, and second to spell out clearly what is prohibited, since that is the only way the rules can be fairly applied. |
