Elevator-gate? Obviously the guy was not thinking correctly. You don't invite a woman to your apartment (or hotel room) if she is a stranger (unless she is a hooker). He should have invited her to a restaurant where they could begin a relationship of some sort. At least that would be less embarrassing than his room or apartment.
...I'm kind of confused... What's this Elevator-whatever? I haven't really been paying attention to anything outside of my computer room during summer break so I guess I'm pretty behind ^-^
@PrideXentric A guy asked Rebecca Watson, a famous atheist feminist blogger, for coffee in a lift at the World Atheist Convention in Dublin, Ireland. She later said in a video that he was objectifying her and she wasn't comfortable with it. PZ Myers blogged about it on Pharyngula and Richard Dawkins posted a comment on the blog comparing it to the genital mutilation of women in the middle east and it all took off from there with everyone commenting on it and picking a side.
@PrideXentric This is Dawkins' comment in full if you're interested:
Dear Muslima
Stop whining, will you. Yes, yes, I know you had your genitals mutilated with a razor blade, and … yawn … don't tell me yet again, I know you aren't allowed to drive a car, and you can't leave the house without a male relative, and your husband is allowed to beat you, and you'll be stoned to death if you commit adultery.
@PrideXentric But stop whining, will you. Think of the suffering your poor American sisters have to put up with. Only this week I heard of one, she calls herself Skep"chick", and do you know what happened to her? A man in a hotel elevator invited her back to his room for coffee.
I am not exaggerating. He really did. He invited her back to his room for coffee. Of course she said no, and of course he didn't lay a finger on her, but even so …
@Orygyn [puts on pompous voice] Well I must disagree there my dear chap as stating that their drama is REDUCED to nothing logically implies that previously it AMOUNTED to SOMETHING. [normal voice] [snicker]
@EviscerationK Yeh but I'm going to try not to let it happen again. Quite a few of the bosses wanted it and surely between them they could afford one for the office.
@SandySweet575 Thanks Simone. Yeh I'm not to pleased with that one actually, while I do like the way it's structured it's a bit simple and a lot of it doesn't really work. The one I'm most proud of is Falcon which you can find on my AxyssTV channel.

@Orygyn So somehow asking someone for coffee is comparable to genital mutilation? *facepalm* That is ridiculous. People are so foolish.

And you, Muslima, think you have misogyny to complain about! For goodness sake grow up, or at least grow a thicker skin.
