That only holds if these people aren’t going to sexually harass anyway. Buy if they are just having sex outside EA instead then the harms have just been shifted and the question is more about people wanting to be a part of the movement.
What would your suggestion to minimise harms but maximise benefits be. And it seems worth considering even quite onerous things because I imagine the people in Austin might be willing to sacrifice a lot.
What about a way that people can opt in to bring hit on.
Many things that would be problems between EAs would not be with other people you might hook up with. Especially, the ability to recommend people for EA jobs or funding is irrelevant to almost everyone in the world but very important to many EAs.
I think most of the problems I’m thinking of go away if it’s done outside of EA or a similar tight-knit group. If you go on a date with a stranger and clumsily proposition them or do something similar, they can just choose not to see you again and they also won’t generally worry about how that affects their career.

Sure but that’s not the numbers Hayden used for his calculation.
Did you mean your “that only holds” comment to be a response to Hayden’s comment above?
Yes. :)
