Not sure where or how the idea that “partying” is under attack here or has anything remotely to do with women who have stories and claims of being abused, harassed, and objectified at events and by particular people.

What is under attack is hypocrisy, secrecy, manipulation, gaslighting, and other forms of abuse to silence women who are victims and to 100% avoid the accountability and responsibility of saying you are one thing but behaving like the opposite.

If you went to a WordPress, SEO, or tech event that was run by self-proclaimed male feminists and at the after party, a bunch of hired Playmates or strippers rolled into the party, what would you think? Maybe something’s off here?

And who’s making claims of known abuse or harassment in the industry? Some of the most prominent and well-known leaders of them all: https://www.reddit.com/r/bigseo/comments/7g5mpt/howdy_rbigseo_im_rand_fishkin_cofounder_of_moz_ama/dqhbxuk/

More from Rand about conference harassment: https://jacobstoops.com/blog/interview-with-rand-fishkin-co-founder-of-moz-and-sparktoro/

Yes, when the pressure is now on for the same person to speak up and act up, he’s calling it crap: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dzt9ZvhX4AAz34r.png:large

Why in the world would a self-proclaimed male feminist tell a woman and feminist everything she’s saying and doing here is crap? https://medium.com/@gisele_navarro/dear-seo-industry-we-need-to-talk-about-elitism-and-sexual-harassment-23a338e56e73
