February 2015 Media Thread

ArisKatsaris

This is the monthly thread for posting media of various types that you've found that you enjoy. Post what you're reading, listening to, watching, and your opinion of it. Post recommendations to blogs. Post whatever media you feel like discussing! To see previous recommendations, check out the older threads.

Rules:

Please avoid downvoting recommendations just because you don't personally like the recommended material; remember that liking is a two-place word. If you can point out a specific flaw in a person's recommendation, consider posting a comment to that effect.
If you want to post something that (you know) has been recommended before, but have another recommendation to add, please link to the original, so that the reader has both recommendations.
Please post only under one of the already created subthreads, and never directly under the parent media thread.
Use the "Other Media" thread if you believe the piece of media you want to discuss doesn't fit under any of the established categories.
Use the "Meta" thread if you want to discuss about the monthly media thread itself (e.g. to propose adding/removing/splitting/merging subthreads, or to discuss the type of content properly belonging to each subthread) or for any other question or issue you may have about the thread or the rules.

Nothing in that article says something about sexual harassment.

Also don't confuse disbelief in God with atheists activism. One doesn't go to a convention about atheism because one doesn't believe. On goes because one cares enough about one's own beliefs to spread them. I wouldn't expect high openness to experience scores with that crowd.

The bigger LW events that I experienced for example do have a lot more physical intimacy, both male-male and male-female than "normal society" and what I would expect to be the norms at an atheist convention.

Despite that conventions with a high percentage of guys are in general not likely to lead to a lot of sexual activity.

Sexual harassment mentioned in this article. The bits I quoted include links, but I think it's more trouble than it's worth for me to reformat them for LW, so go back to the freethoughblog timeline if you want details.:
