====Scenario: A woman is standing near your group at a geek event====
You see a woman standing near your group at a geek event.
Good responses:
* Ask her what it's like to be a woman in $GEEK_FIELD or why there are so few women in it. She's sick of that question and it immediately points her out as weird and separate. Go look it up on the Internet, like you would a basic programming question.
* Get into a long two-person conversation with her, dominating her time and preventing her from meeting more people.
* "How do you like the partners' programme?/Are you
* Stare at her badge for a long time trying to read it. You are staring at her chest, most likely.
* Grab her badge and bend over to look at it more closely. You are invading her personal space, probably just touched her chest, preventing her from leaving, and making her feel conspicuous. This is a real jerk move.
