Elise Matthesen's "How to Report Sexual Harassment"


We’re geeks. We learn things and share, right? Well, this year at WisCon I learned firsthand how to report sexual harassment. In case you ever need or want to know, here’s what I learned and how it went.

As part of Operation Hammond, we stand ready to assist in cases of harassment. We're a fan-based EMS agency, registered in the state of Massachusetts as a non-transporting agency, and we go to cons in NY, MA, CT, NH, RI, and VT. Besides EMS, we watch for harassment, and provide safe haven if necessary.

A costume is not consent. All it takes for inappropriate behavior to continue is for good men and women to do nothing.

Wouldn't choosing WisCon as the venue for conducting harassment be doubling down on stupid?

Was the "edited to add" there when you posted? Because it's pretty significant, I'd think.
