Laura-You shouldn't feel dirty. They should be ashamed of themselves. In
the work environment this would be considered sexual harrassment, so they
feel that they can do this at meetings.
I generally try to attract as little unwanted male attention as possible
at meetings. I turn around my grandmother's engagement ring on my left
hand to make it look like a wedding band. I go out to eat with at least
one other person (in New Orleans, we had 14 crazed carotenoid people at
one table), and I never go anywhere near a bar alone. Even at
"professional meetings", the same guard has to be kept up.
