Women trying to succeed in Silicon Valley AI and effective altruist spaces are reporting feeling serious social pressure to attend sex parties - where people have reported being sexually assaulted, like below. Events like Aella’s “Slutcon,” which is happening again this weekend.

This feels like an extreme version of the environment I’ve experienced in so many nerd spaces (gaming, comics) where women in the space learn to tank enormous amounts of misogyny and abuse because the only way to survive is to prove you’re “one of the guys” or you can “take a joke” or whatever. 😔
