The leadership cares very much but can't do anything about it if they
don't see it occur and they aren't told specifics by the people that are
receiving it.
If someone in plug is being sexist to you, we need to know about it so
that we can do something about it. We _have_ talked about it in
meetings, but I find that often times the person that is supposedly
doing the action might not ever be aware they are doing it.
Lisa pointed out that someone is feeling like he is purposely showing
off his wedding ring as being sexist. However I would point out that if
you watch the videos that I've taken of Hans that you will notice that
he is Left Handed and if simply pointing with his dominant hand, so it
sounds like it's a misunderstanding to me.
He's the only person that I am aware of that has been named and is
therefore the only person that can be talked to. He's also the biggest
proponent of womens rights that I personally know.

I have been laughed at about projects I am working on by one particular

threatening when that was an out and out lie. There are members there,
Brian who are that way. There are members who are not. Women run from
these meetings. I saw this at the last PLUG I attended.
Maybe that's just the general culture, mock and criticize other members,
act arrogant and rude.
There are a few members who are not rude or bias. I'm not saying
everyone is. However, leadership could care less.

It's true, there are a lot more men in PLUG than there are women,
but that's just a reflection of the industry as a whole, and is
something we would like to change.
PLUG does not tolerate anybody being treated as anything but an
equal. If anyone feels otherwise I would like to know about it
immediately.
Of course if someone does feel like they are being treated
differently the first thing I would have them ask themselves is, was
I actually being a asshole during the period I was feeling
discriminated against. I think you will find that assholes tend to
get ignored in PLUG and has nothing to do with gender.

hans,
I am sorry you cannot take a joke.
Of course, sexual harassment is no joking matter.
Accusations of this are quite serious.
I never witnessed anything or experienced sexual harassment.
Gender bias is quite obvious in your LUG.
