The pillow-fight example sounds like straight-out sexism to me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexism

In my experience, the introvert/extrovert trait is orthogonal to whether someone is sleazy.

Sexism or not, it's making women feel uncomfortable.
Maybe these red/yellow cards can help give the poorly socialized some clear social cues. And handing them out is certainly going to be empowering.

#10What I don't understand is why this happens anymore. Surely no one can think it is acceptable in this day and age. I know we're talking about some of the least socially adept group of people, but come on. I don't see how you can even operate in society if you're literally trying to lick other people in public.
Disclosure: I went to DEF CON 2 in 1994 when I was a shy 15 year old and there were no women around and apparently, better manners.
