This is how I feel when I see the "codes of conduct" that are popping up. I know that, even though I am a minority of one type, being a white male means that if I am harassed nothing will happen, but if I disagree with my harasser they will claim that I am harassing them.

The code of conduct doesn't say it (though at least one version did) but the atmosphere currently is that it's impossible for a woman or ethnic minority to be the perpetrator.

The idea that there's some overarching patriarchy or power structure that, due to your gender or race, you are part of, and therefore you are fair game for abuse... is appalling.
