No opinion on episode 2, however episode 1 — nice way to infantilize the woman. It wasn’t like she was drunk and not aware of her surroundings. Presumably she was an adult and should be trusted to take care of herself.

If some woman was creeping on some guy, would we have the same conversation? If not, then we are actually being sexist in our loud protest against sexism.

If it were some dark alley or similar locale and the woman would have had reasonable fear for her safety, this would be a different discussion. At WWDC, there is security all over the place, so any intervention in that circumstance is simply a signal that grown women ought to be treated as some kind of fragile child. It’s insulting in my opinion.
