Yeah, it being more pervasive and entangled with EA culture than I thought is one of my takeaways, and I’ve been spending some time to reflect and think about ways I could help improve things.
This isn’t a story about ‘sexual harassment’ because there was none / ‘sexual harassment’ is in fact widely and deeply rooted, as shown by this incident of ‘sexual harassment’.
I don’t think Owen did anything that requires more than a private apology and a suggestion from friends to be less of an idiot, and even that is only necessary because the people around him are idiots in a different way.
However, I accept that some people think that what he did was awful and reprehensible, and I agree with them that a tendency to behaviors of that sort is likely to be common.
Also, the phrase ‘sexual harassment’ is not a clear symbol pointing to a concept cluster that is structured the same in everyone’s mind, but in fact a muddy and politically contested thing that probably links to a different set of things in my head than yours.
Hence the request elsewhere in the comments for CEA to give a more precise definition of ‘sexual harassment’
Could it also mean the sexual harassment problem is much wider and deeper rooted than we think?

Sorry I’m struggling to understand what this comment is saying. Can you reword it?
