Over the last years I've been to a lot of WordCamps, WP Camps, Meetups, BarCamps, blogger and Linux conferences --- never I heard or watched such things or came to know of them, even afterwards. -- I don't know from whom or from where such actions come to create a Code of Contuct etc.

Safety Officers and Code of Conduct concept is not only ridiculous and over the top but also the wrong way. I won't attend such events in WordPress community if this becomes a new "rule", "guideline" or whatever name you will find for it. I can do without that. And I know a lot of (WordPress) women who can too! Women are NO "victims" and should note made themselves to one!

I am from Germany and we have already laws for all those things mentioned here, e.g. all kinds of discrimination etc. For the European Union there are similar things. Those laws have to just to be executed. Period.

Also female ratio for speakers at WordCamps is the wrong way! I am member of a political party that has such ratio, sadly! In real life it leads to that, that women who are under qualified come in top positions and get total under pressure there because they have not the skills for it. Such practices help no one!

Thanks, Dave from Germany.
