You may have already read this, but I hadn't. Marriott is actually explicitly and directly blaming a woman for being sexually assaulted in their parking garage. It's an amazing and horrible story and reading it made me upset and angry on a number of levels.

That's horrible!

I hadn't heard about it, either. God, what jerks. Sure is irresponsible of you to buckle your kids into their car seats!

This sounds like an excellent reason for a boycott!

Those subpoenas the Marriot's lawyer sent out are an abuse of process. She probably can't afford to pursue ethics and sanctions against him, but some money for a legal fund for her lawyer and that might get done.

Thank you for the link. As someone involved with Arisia's hotel search, I'm sure as hell gonna bring this up when the Marriots in the area come into the conversation.

OMFG. What pathetic losers. I am sure this has *already* cost them more than the $15,000 she was seeking in damages.

Boggling in horror.

I'm afraid to read. I'm going to anyway, but I'm afraid to.

But if I didn't, I wouldn't've learned about Sewradical's father.

I'm disgusted.

Oh this is a level of anger that ensures I'll never sleep in a Marriott again (as well as spreading the word about this)

Rape culture makes me want to throw up on a regular basis.

This is a prime example.

Here's another one that hit one of the major women-in-science blogs recently. Did you know that if you're a grad student working late in lab, it's your own fault if you get violently raped in the lab?
