My favorite is when they say things like, "if you don't want to be called creepy then don't do creepy things"
The implication being that you said or did something that a different person wouldn't have done. The truth is, you're creepy on sight before you say or do anything.
I guess I don't understand why this is so difficult for the IT crowd to admit. What would they be giving up if they admitted the truth? The only thing I can think of is, they wont admit the truth because they believe it makes women look bad. They don't want to admit that any woman anywhere on earth could have any kind of prejudice.
