I unfortunately had to stop going to our local board gaming meetup because of this.
Most people were fine but there was this one creep who kept making weird comments if I did something like, you know, be a woman and dare to bend over to get something from a bag. And then a guy who smelled like pretty much the worst thing I've ever smelled and always wanted to be in the same games as me.
I was so excited to find the group but I did not last long there.
