Rudeness makes people FEEL uncomfortable.

OK, but other than the one that tried to kiss a woman, none of these men were supervisors of the woman, and most didn’t even work for the same companies. There was no legitimate power differential other than the women wanted to leverage the man’s industry reputation. It was NOT a mutually beneficial meeting. No sexual innuendo was mentioned in the article. And yes, it was absolutely rude to attempt to kiss the woman. My original assertion was simply that while socially inept, these men weren’t predators, all the interaction occurred in public spaces and none of these women appear to have been in the slightest bit of danger at any time.
