The other reports and not just the knife and bar incident are really awful as well and like hidden half way down the article:

> Here's a sampling of stories Fleener shared:

> "'Last night, I was propositioned in the most graphic way I've ever heard. When I turned him down, he tried to convince me to leave with him by telling me his pregnant wife was on bedrest and I was doing her a favor.'"

> "'A leader at a firm showed me a video of 2 girls under 20 in his bedroom naked and and [sic] invited me and the other woman I was with to join him.'"

> Another female executive, Samantha Mather, wrote about the trials of more than 15 years in legal tech, from being physically accosted at a company event to countless inappropriate comments and having to avoid one-on-one meetings with some men in her industry.

> When she recruited two trusted male colleagues to stay close to her as allies, Mather said, some men pestered her anyway — or asked about her relationship with the pair.

> "You literally cannot win," she wrote on LinkedIn.

On the other hand. The headline does leave out details, but is still pretty accurate for that one scene. I guess it could say 1 person assaulted and another harassed at a tech conference. For the article mostly being focused on women being harassed by men, it's easy to miss that it was a man who was assaulted, Shimmy, (hence a different person) who got the knife pulled on him for standing up for Bier (the woman who was harassed by Cruz). I had to reread it to realize that. More people in this world should be like Shimmy (and more companies like Microsoft [atleast in this instance]) that's kind of one of the points that the article is about that it doesn't matter who you are when you see something is wrong you do something to alleviate the problem. I mean you don't need to be a hero like Shimmy necessarily, but anything you find within your power to alleviate is better than nothing. Just like the event holders should have done something about harassment happening at their event.
