I think Ms. Watson's concern about the incident was justified. Her public response was perfectly appropriate and personally courageous.
​
The Elevator Guy's behavior was (at best) borderline stalking. I don't buy the idea that he was merely socially clueless.
​
I admire Dawkin's work, but I'm not surprised that he's capable of that brand of misogynism peculiar to upper-class male academics.
​
The hate/rape messages she's received show just how right any woman is to be creeped out by an Elevator Guy.
