I think that’s burying your head in the sand. All that results in is people being driven out of conversations, leaving the perps to badmouth them behind their backs.
When I was very young in my very first job on leaving school I was a post clerk in a factory. All male apart from me, the nurse, the typists and one lab assistant. Delivering the post was like running the gauntlet of whistles and crude remarks and porno calendars. If you answered back you were frigid or had no sense of humour. You had to turn a blind eye or leave. Some of the older guys were really kind and as embarrassed as I was. I lasted six months.
I must admit I forgot / didn’t know we had this…I’ve used it very sporadically in the past on other forums and it worked well for me, I tended not to do it permanently but just for a while if a I needed a breather from someone.
I’d not thought about it but it’s something we could discuss that could be useful in some situations.
